Abstract

Glassy Polymeric Carbon (GPC) is a material widely used because of its high temperature properties, inertness and biocompatibility [1]. GPC samples were prepared from a phenolic resin, cured in a careful process at 100 ºC and pyrolyzed to 1000 ºC. In this work, we have introduced 3wt%, 10wt%, and 20 wt% of Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) in the precursor resin to study the evolution of the electrical conductivities of the nanocomposite as a function of the CNT concentration.
