The influence of the carbon black content on the mechanical and electrical properties of polypropylene/carbon black composites prepared by different processing procedures was investigated. The formation of a continuous conducting network in the insulating matrix and, consequently, the percolation threshold depend strongly on the processing route and influence both the mechanical and electrical properties of the prepared composites. An interesting coincidence of the dependencies of conductivity and elongation at break on the filler content was found. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 82: 1903–1906, 2001
