A method of manufacturing an electrically conductive composite comprising a thermoplastic polymer and electrically conductive particles embedded in at least part of the surface of the thermoplastic polymer is provided. This method comprises the steps of: a) providing a heat-shrinkable object made of bulk thermoplastic polymer, wherein at least part of the surface of the object is rough, b) depositing electrically conductive particles on said part of the surface of the object that is rough leaving spaces free of particles on said part of the surface of the object that is rough, and c) heating the object above a shrinking temperature, thereby shrinking the object, embedding the particles into said part of the surface of the object that is rough and allowing the particles to form conductive paths yielding the electrically conductive composite.
