Abstract

Abstract An electrically conductive polymer composite comprising a porous body of polymer A containing interconnected cavities, and polymer B containing an electrically conductive filler and filling the cavities of the porous body. This polymer composite can be made by filling the cavities of the porous body with a liquid monomer, monomer mixture or prepolymer and then polymerizing or cross-linking it to yield polymer B in solid form. The polymer composite has excellent mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity and, therefore, is suitable for use as an electrically conductive material, electromagnetic wave shielding material, heating element and antistatic material.
