Özet
This study presents a design‐driven strategy for fabricating lightweight and electrically conductive polymer composites with a segregated architecture formed via foam‐induced cellular morphology. A wax‐modified styrene–butadiene–styrene matrix was used as the polymer phase, while graphite, carbon fiber, and nickel were employed as conductive fillers. Thermally expandable microspheres were employed as blowing agents to simultaneously reduce density and promote filler segregation by facilitating localized redistribution during cell growth. Among all bulk formulations, the highest electrical conductivity was observed in carbon fiber‐filled samples (1.5 × 10−3 S/cm at 50 phr), followed by graphite‐filled samples. In contrast, nickel‐filled bulk composites showed negligible conductivity due to the high density and poor connectivity of spherical particles. Upon expansion, graphite‐filled foamed composites …
