Simulations and generalized model of the effect of filler size dispersity on electrical percolation in rod networks

We present a three-dimensional simulation of electrical conductivity in isotropic, polydisperse rod networks from which we determine the percolation threshold (ϕ[subscript c]). Existing analytical models that account for size dispersity are formulated in the slender-rod limit and are less accurate f...
