Highlights
- - A hierarchical modeling approach is presented to predict the electrical conductivity of hybrid composites.
- - Influence of CNT content, anisotropic conductivity, percolation and interfacial resistance is studied.
- - Effect of short carbon fiber (SCF) loading, conductivity anisotropy, aspect ratio, and orientation is also reported.
- - Even at SCF content as low as 1 vol.%, addition of CNTs into polymer leads to improved electrical performance and percolation.
