Three forms of carbon, i.e., carbon nanotubes (CNT), conductive carbon black (CCB), and graphite (G), were added to polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to prepare several types of composites, namely, CNT/PET, CCB/PET, G/PET, CNT/CCB/PET, and CNT/G/PET composites, using melt compounding, followed by inj...
