Abstract
An electroconductive composite comprises a matrix of nanocrystalline cellulose and graphene oxide. The matrix is, in at least a region thereof, unipolar by having, in that region, either p-type charge carrier conductivity or n-type charge carrier conductivity depending on the mass concentration of nanocrystalline cellulose in that portion of the matrix.
