Maximum values of 10.57 S/m and 0.028 S/m were achieved for the nanocomposite filled with 10 wt% loading of CNTs and 15 wt% loading of GNPs, respectively. The incorporation of 5 and 10 wt% loadings of CNTs into the polymer seemed to favour the development of denser conductive networks, capable of achieving the temperature required for an effective Joule welding of PC substrates under an applied voltage, whereas the addition of lower loadings of CNTs (i.e., ≤5 wt%) or GNPs at any loading ≤10 wt% rendered less conductive networks, not capable of achieving a high enough temperature for a successful Joule welding.
