One form of multifunctionality in composites involves the integration of mechanical and electrical properties. One way to increase the electrical conductivity of nonconducting polymers is to combine the polymer with conducting reinforcements such as carbon. Which form of carbon would you expect to be more effective in increasing the electrical conductivity of a carbon/polymer composite—CNTs or carbon nanoparticles?
