Electrical properties of polyethylene and carbon nanotube composite films were investigated, when the composite films were set in heating box or under electric field at constant voltage. The composite films were prepared by gelation/crystallization from dilute solution. The mixture of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and branched low molecular weight polyethylene (LMWPE) was used as matrix, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were used as fillers. The filler content was chosen to be 10 wt% (ca. 5.25 vol%) which is a relatively higher loading than the percolation threshold to ensure to act as heating element in plane heater of composite film. The focus was concentrated on the temperature dependences of electric conductivity by external beating and by exothermic effect concerning self-temperature-control heating properties which were measured for the three kinds of UHMWPE-LMWPE composites with the same content of MWNTs in the composites. When a certain voltage was applied to the composite, the surface temperature of film reaches the equilibrium value within less than 100 s. The maximum surface temperature as the equilibrium state of the resultant composite film can be easily controlled by adjusting the composite ratio represented as UHMWPE/LMWPE. The high efficiency of heating and wide adjustability of stable temperature suggested its good application in high efficient plane heater. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
