Abstract

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), which were coated with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles, were cured and aligned in epoxy resin under magnetic field. They were aligned end-to-up under 0.6 T magnetic field. When the Fe3O4-MWNTs hybrids content was 0.3%, the electric conductivity were 4.2 S/cm. Frequency and Fe3O 4-MWNTs hybrids content are the key roles for electric conductivity.
