Abstract This paper presents an analytical study on the electrical conductivity of composites whose constituted materials have distinct electrical properties. The present study investigates the effect of the aspect ratio of inclusions on the effective electrical conductivity of composites. Formulations are derived for determining the percolation threshold and calculating the electrical conductivity of composites with considering aspect ratio effect. The validation of the present model is also provided by using available experimental data. The present analytical model can be applied to predict the electrical behaviour of carbon-nanotube fibre reinforced polymer composites.
