Polymerizationally filled conducting polypropylene-graphite composites prepared with highly efficient metallocene catalysts

Current- and heat-conducting polypropylene-graphite composites containing 30-90% graphite were synthesized using highly efficient metallocene catalysts. Thermal conductivity and electrical and mechanical properties of the as-synthesized materials were studied. It was shown that the graphite noticeably affects the crystallization behavior of a matrix polymer. The X-ray data on PP and graphite in composites are presented.
