The present paper reports the development of polystyrene-foliated graphite composites via a hot compression moulding technique. Foliated graphite, as obtained by the sonication of expanded graphite, was used as a filler. A distinct percolative behaviour was observed in the variation of conductivity of the composites as a function of graphite concentration. At the percolation concentration of graphite content (0.02 vol. fraction), the conductivity is found to be ca. 10-5 S/cm. The percolation behaviour was analyzed using the generalized effective media equation. An estimation of the interparticle distance between the filler particles/clusters in the composites was made. The analysis of current-voltage characteristics revealed that near the percolation threshold the electrical transport is due to tunnelling of charge carriers, while above the threshold it is ohmic in nature.

The paper reports the development of compression moulded pre-localized graphite/polyvinyl chloride (graphite/PVC) segregated composites with different concentrations of graphite and their application to the shield effectiveness of electromagnetic radiation in the X-band frequency range 8-12 GHz. The incorporation of graphite is related to the formation of conducting channels. It is found that conducting channels are formed above 3 wt. % of graphite. The electrical conductivity is also found to be strongly dependent on the graphite content, and the data are analysed using a percolation model. Variations in SE with graphite loading, due to changes in the conductivity of the composite, have been investigated.
