Abstract
Abstract Fluorocarbon polymers are impregnated with rhenium or molybdenum by immersion in liquid rhenium hexafluoride or molybdenum hexafluoride. The rhenium and molybdenum fluoride compounds are then hydrolyzed to form conductive oxides. The impregnated polymer is electrically conductive.
