ABSTRACT

Interest has been generated in the use of conductive polymer fibers composite because of its environmentally kindly and conductive properties.  PVDF is normally used as insulation on electrical wires, because of its blend of flexibility low thermal conductivity, low weight, high chemical corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. PVDF is a specialty plastic used in applications requiring the highest purity, as well as resistance to solvents, PVDF polymer composite filled with the synthesis of MWCNT were fabricated by spinning techniques, conducting polymer composite is extensively demanded in advance application most especially in electromagnetic wave propagation. This research focus on the enhancement of polymer carbon fiber with thermal stability for better performance in electromagnetic wave propagation in the porous medium. The thermal stability of polymer composite properties was measured and evaluated, the morphology of the fabricated polymer fiber was studied via field TEM, Emission scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), it was revealed from the stimulation that P orbital above the fermi level for MWCNT is from 0 to 16eV and for PVDF+MWCNT is from 0 to 19eV.  It was revealed from the result that the incorporation of Carbon-based material increases the thermal stability of the material which improved its performance for all applications. From the result obtained it was discovered that the electric permittivity of polymer carbon fiber increased from 0.6x1010 to 9x1010 (S/m).
