Abstract:
1. An electrically conducting polymeric composition comprising: an organic polymer composition that comprises a thermoplastic organic polymer; an electrically conducting filler composition that comprises metal fibers, metal coated fibers, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing metal fibers and the metal coated fibers; with the aspect ratio of the metal fibers and the metal coated fibers being greater than 1; the electrically conducting filler being present in amounts of about 3 to 30 wt %, based on the weight of the electrically conducting polymeric composition; where the thermoplastic organic polymer is a polyphenylene sulfide, a polyamide, a polyester, a polycarbonate, or a polycarbonate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blend; and an electrically insulating composition; the electrically insulating composition comprising glass fibers; with the aspect ratio of the glass fibers being greater than 1; the glass fibers being present in amounts of about 5 to about 30 wt %, based on the weight of the electrically conducting polymeric composition; wherein the electrically conducting polymeric composition has a flexural modulus of greater than or equal to about 4 gigapascals and a melt flow index of about 5 to about 100 when measured under a load of 10 kg-f/cm
