Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an electrically conductive elastomer mixture, the elastomer mixture comprising a thermoplastic styrene elastomer and metal-containing particles comprising nickel or silver coated particles as an electrically conductive filler, the method comprising: mixing into one another the thermoplastic styrene elastomer and a polymer to form an IPN (Interpenetrating Polymer Network) network structure with the thermoplastic styrene elastomer, wherein the polymer, which contains an acid-grafted, acid-anhydride-grafted or acid-copolymerized functional group, comprises polyolefin, and the amount of polymer is 10 to 50 parts per 100 parts of styrene elastomer, given as parts of weight, and mixing the metal-containing, electrically conductive filler into the IPN structure.
