Epoxy composites with the aligned network of multiwalled carbon nanotubes generated by applying AC electric field during the curing process are fabricated. Industrial nanotubes with diameter of 10-30 nm and length of 10-30 m are used. The nanotubes' concentration is varied from 0.2 to 1.0% wt. DC conductivity is measured for two orientations of multiwalled carbon nanotubes' network-parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the instrument current. Similarly, complex microwave permittivity an
