Abstract
A composition of matter is disclosed in which nanophase metal particles are effectively dispersed in a polymer matrix so that hitherto unattainable thermoelectric properties are attained. Preferred polymers and metals are taught. A method of making the composition of matter useful as a themoelectric composite material using a conducting polymer matrix is disclosed as is a thermoelectric cooling/heating device which uses that composition.
