Abstract

Different properties of the mixtures of polyethylene with carbon black modified by the implantation of Sb+ ions were studied. Chemical changes of polymer were examined by IR- and UV-visible spectroscopy. Sheet resistivity as a function of sample temperature was studied. Depth profiles of implanted Sb atoms and incorporated oxygen were determined by the Rutherford backscattering technique. The percolation threshold of unimplanted mixtures is found at 4.5 and 5 wt. % of carbon black. As a result of ion implantation, the polymer is oxidized and conjugated double bonds are produced. The mixtures with carbon black concentration above percolation threshold exhibit metal-like conductivity. For the mixtures below percolation threshold, the measurements of resistivity versus temperature dependence indicate semiconductor type conductivity and charge transport via a variable range-hopping mechanism.
