مستخلص: Hydroxyl modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (OH-MWCNT)/ polyurethane (PU) and graphene nanosheets (GNS)/PU composites were prepared by dispersing the OH-MWCNT and GNS at different wt % in to the PU matrix. It was found that the electrical percolation threshold of the GNS/PU composite is much higher compared to that of OH-MWCNT/PU and also the electrical conductivity of the OH-MWCNT/PU composite is higher than the GNS/PU composite in the same level of filler content. This may be due to the two composites having different electrical conduction mechanisms: The OH-MWCNT/PU composite represents a three dimensional conduction system while, the GNS/PU composite represents a two dimensional conduction system. The improvement in the electrical conductivity with the incorporation of GNS as a filler in the composite is far lower than what theoretically expected. It is also observed that the tensile strength of the OH-MWCNT/PU composite is higher compared to the GNS/PU in the same level filler content.
