AC-Electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of MultiWalled Carbon Nanotube-Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene composite (MWCNT/ABS) has been investigated with MWCNT additive of different concentration percentage. The study showed that electrical conductivity σ, obeys power law with the frequency exponential factor S less than one and indicate dielectric loss, ε" not equal to constant. At lower concentration of Carbon Nanotubes, the dielectric constant ε' and dielectric loss ε" remain
