Electrical Conductivity in Polymer-Based Composites: Experiments, Modelling and Applications offers detailed information on all aspects of conductive composites. These composites offer many benefits in comparison to traditional conductive materials, and have a broad range of applications, including electronic packaging, capacitors, thermistors, fuel cell devices, dielectrics, piezoelectric functions and ferroelectric memories. Sections cover the theory of electrical conductivity and the different categories of conductive composites, describing percolation threshold, tunneling effect and other phenomena in the field. Subsequent chapters present thorough coverage of the key phases in the development and use of conductive composites, including manufacturing methods, external parameters, applications, modelling and testing methods. This is an essential source of information for materials scientists and engineers working in the fields of polymer technology, processing and engineering, enabling them to improve manufacture and testing methods, and to benefit fully from applications. The book also provides industrial and academic researchers with a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of conductive composites and related issues.

Reza Taherian received his PhD in Materials Engineering from Shiraz University in 2011. His research interests and related publication works center on carbon-polymer composites, with investigations of their porosity, conductivity, and mechanical and thermal properties. For Elsevier, he has previously authored Electrical Conductivity in Polymer-Based Composites (2018). Alongside his research activity, which has brought him to be recognized among the world’s top 2% scientists in 2020, he collaborated to a patent for a compound formula for brake pads that has since been made commercially available for various aircraft models.
