Abstract
Abstract Polymer granules having a single particle volume of 0.01 mm 3 to 150 mm 3 and a metal layer of 0.5 to 35% by weight, relative to polymer, can be processed by the customary methods of the plastics industry into shaped articles which have permanent antistatic properties and screen off electromagnetic waves.
