Abstract
Electrically conductive polymer blends are produced from an insulating thermoplastic polymer phase and a conductivity enhancing composition that forms a continuous conductive phase and includes an intrinsically conductive polymer salt that is incompatible with the thermoplastic polymer, a thermoplastic conductive phase polymer and a plasticizer that is capable of compatibilizing the conductive phase polymer and the intrinsically conductive polymer salt. The intrinsically conductive polymer salt is concentrated in the continuous conductive phase Methods are also provided for the preparation of these conductive polymer blends.
