Abstract

Electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomer vulcanisates (TPVs) based on poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (NBR), polypropylene (PP) and dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid doped polyaniline (PAni.DBSA) were produced by using an internal mixer. A very low electrical percolation threshold (about 1.5 wt %/0.85 volume % of PAni.DBSA) was successfully achieved for TPVs prepared via this technique. All these TPVs showed useful physical properties and also a reasonable good electromagnetic interferences shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). These TPVs could be reprocessed up to four cycles without significant loss of their EMI SE, electrical and physical properties. As a result, this kind of TPV material has a very good potential of industrial application.
