Abstract
Abstract A method of producing electrically conductive plastics materials from polymers and electrically conductive particles wherein an aqueous dispersion of polyacrylate, such as a thermally cross-linkable copolymer based upon ethyl acrylate, or a polyisobutylene is mixed with an aqueous dispersion of electrically conductive particles such as noble metals, non-metallic materials coated with noble metals, or carbon, and the resulting mixture is spread out in a thin layer on a support, whereafter the water is evaporated at a temperature above the softening of the plastics material.
