Abstract:
A filling composition for filling interstices between a plurality of wires of a conductor comprising:a minor phase polymeric material;a conductive filler dispersed in said minor phase material in an amount sufficient to generate a continuous conductive network in said minor phase material;a major phase material comprised of a low molecular weight polymer, said minor phase material with said conductive filler dispersed therein dispersed in said major phase material in an amount sufficient to generate a continuous conductive network in said major phase material, said major phase material and said minor phase material being such that when mixed together do not engage in electrostatic interactions which promote miscibility, anda water swellable material, said water swellable material being admixed with said filling composition and said filling composition being pumpable at elevated temperatures of about greater than 100.degree.
