Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) was used as matrix, acidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) and unacidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes as functional fillers and MWCNTs-COOH/PVDF, MWCNTs/PVDF composites with different fillers contents were prepared by melt blending. FTIR, SEM, XRD, tensile test, electrical property test, DSC, and other methods were used to study the influence of MWCNTs content and before and after acidification of carbon nanotubes on thermal properties, mechanical properties and electrical properties of the prepared composites. XRD test showed that the addition of MWCNTs-COOH and MWCNTs promoted the formation of β crystal of PVDF. Mechanical analysis showed that interfacial interactions between the MWCNTs-COOH and PVDF was stronger, resulting in the higher mechanical strength of the composites. When the filler contents of MWCNTs-COOH was 12wt%, the tensile strength of the composites reached 64.6 MPa, which increased by 24% compared with pure PVDF. The dielectric property analysis showed that the unacidified multi-walled carbon nanotubes were more likely to form local conductive networks in the PVDF matrix, promoting the electron displacement polarization and improving the dielectric constant. When the contents of MWCNTs was 12wt%, the percolation threshold was reached and the dielectric constant reached 286, which was 36 times of pure PVDF. DSC test showed that with the addition of MWCNTs-COOH and MWCNTs, the crystallization temperature, melting temperature and crystallinity of the dielectric composites were higher than those of pure PVDF.
