Abstract :
Summary form only given. Conducting polymer blends made by blending thermoplastic bulk polymers with Polarene/sup TM/, a proprietary conducting polyaniline composition, using conventional melt-processing techniques are reported. The percolation threshold for conductivity is observed at astonishingly low weight fractions of the conjugated conducting polyaniline indicating the formation of a unique morphology. Results on electrical and mechanical properties of these blends will be presented and discussed.
