Abstract

We report experimental and theoretical results concerning the ac properties of polymer-carbon black (CB) composites. For these materials, the theory of percolation has to be generalised to account for the complex structure of the CB and the observation that tunnelling plays an important role close to the percolation threshold. We have extended a model of Balberg [1] relating the non-universality of the exponent t to the CB morphology, to interpret the non universality of the dynamic scaling exponents t/(s+t) and s/(s+t) in the critical ac regime observed in these composites
