The effect of electrically conductive carbon black CH600 produced by Omsk Karbon Group on the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of composite materials based on linear low-density polyethylene has been studied. It has been established that the filler provides high electrical conductivity of the studied composites in the range of 10–20 wt.%, significantly increases their modulus of elasticity and tensile strength, but at the same time reduces the relative elongation at break. Despite the ambiguous effect of the studied filler on the mechanical characteristics of composite materials, carbon black CH600 proved to be a highly efficient and promising filler for creating electrically conductive polymer composite materials based on linear low-density polyethylene.
