How does the inclusion of carbon nanotubes enhance the electrical conductivity of WPC tree boxes?
The inclusion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) tree boxes significantly enhances their electrical conductivity. CNTs, known for their exceptional electrical properties, create conductive pathways within the WPC matrix. This improvement is due to their high aspect ratio and ability to form interconnected networks, even at low concentrations. As a result, WPC tree boxes with CNTs exhibit better static dissipation and electromagnetic shielding, making them ideal for urban environments where electrical interference or static buildup may be a concern. Additionally, the integration of CNTs maintains the material's lightweight and durable characteristics, ensuring long-term performance in landscaping applications.
