Eliminating common biases in modelling the electrical conductivity of carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites

Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2018 May 16;20(19):13118-13121. doi: 10.1039/c8cp01715h.

Abstract

Modelling carbon nanotube-polymer nanocomposites to predict their electrical conductivity demands high computational power. Past research has led to the assumption that conductive networks follow a periodic pattern; however, the impact of the underlying biases had never been investigated. This work provides insights into evaluating such biases and eliminating them to improve simulation accuracy.
