Conducting polymeric materials prepared from immiscible blends, such as polypropylene (PP)/polystyrene (PS), together with carbon black (CB), are known to have a relatively high electrical conductivity, because of a selective distribution of CB (double percolation). Melt spinning of immiscible blends containing CB has, however, not been extensively reported on previously. An immiscible 1: 1 blend of PP and PS to which 4 wt% CB was added exhibited a very low melt draw-down ratio at rupture compared wit PP with the same content of CB. By adding 5 wt% SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene block copolymer), the ultimate melt draw-down ratio increased about 10 times, which made the material more suitable for melt spinning. As-extruded samples of the immiscible blends (with CB) did not have higher electrical conductivities than PP/CB. A heat treatment increased the conductivity of immiscible PP/PS/CB composites, and longer treatment times and higher temperatures promoted the conductivity. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 51: 1165-1169, 2011.
