Abstract

Nylon 6 / with (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1) wt. % Multiwall Carbon Nano Tubes MWCNTs films conductive polymers were prepared by electrospinning technique. Electrical conductivity for Polymeric solution were measure, increases from (3.8 x 10-3 S/cm) for pure nylon 6 solution and increase directly with MWCNTs concentration to (10.2 x 10-3 S/cm) at 1 % MWCNTs concentration. Prepared films morphology was tested by SEM and the average fibers diameters measure statically was 140 nm. The nanofibers film show enhancing the electrical conductivity by increase MWCNTs concentration, from (2.9 x 10-9 S/cm) for pure nylon 6 film ,increased to (1.042x10-6 S/cm) for 0.8 wt. % MWCNT . The solution of nylon 6 / 1% MWCNT cannot be electrospun due to low viscosity and high electrical conductivity associated with high percentage of MWCNT , So there is no produced film from this solution
