مستخلص: The effect of temperature on the electrical conductivity (σ) and Seebeck coefficient (S) of n-type vapor grown carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) melt-mixed with 15 wt% of those CNFs is analyzed. At 40 °C, the CNFs show stable n-type character (S=−4.8 µV·K−1) with an σ of ca.165 S·m−1, while the PVDF/CNF composite film shows an σ of ca. 9 S·m−1 and near-zero S (S=−0.5 µV·K−1). This experimental reduction in S is studied by the density functional tight binding (DFTB) method revealing a contact electron transfer from the CNFs to the PVDF in the interface. Moreover, in the temperature range from 40 °C to 100 °C, the σ(T) of the CNFs and PVDF/CNF film, successfully described by the 3D variable range hopping (VRH) model, is explained as consequence of a thermally activated backscattering mechanism. On the contrary, the S(T) from 40 °C to 100 °C of the PVDF/CNF film, which satisfactorily matches the model proposed for some multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) doped mats; however, it does not follow the increase in S(T) found for CNFs. All these findings are presented with the aim of discerning the role of these n-type vapor grown carbon nanofibers on the σ and S of their melt-mixed polymer composites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
