Description

Highlights: •Temperature dependence of conductivity (300–1.4 K) of MWCNT/PS composites is studied. •Conductivity of MWCNT/PS composites exhibit weak temperature dependence. •Conductivity ratio (σr) is smaller than 3 for all samples. •Power-law explains the conduction mechanism in the low temperature regime. •Previous similar measurements resulted a pronounced temperature dependence with σr∼500.
