An evaluation of the effects of carbon black incorporation on mechanical and electroconductive properties of biodegradable materials is presented. The biodegradable composites based on Mater-Bi® (MB) filled 1; 2; 4 wt. % of carbon black (CB) were prepared by melt mixing. Mater-Bi® is a commercial bioplastic extensively used within food packaging applications. The mechanical and electrical properties of biodegradable matrix and its composites were investigated. The electroconductive properties of prepared materials were tested to determine the percolation threshold, as well as dielectric relaxation.
