In this project, the phenomenon of ultra-low percolation threshold for electrical conduction in carbon nanotubes/polymer composites is investigated. Simple Monte-Carlo simulations are carried out which CNTs are modeled as either 1-D sticks or 1-D polylines or 2-D narrow rectangles. A simplistic exte...
