Abstract:
1. A process for the preparation of a conductive polymer composition comprising the steps: (a) providing a latex containing a conductive polymer (A) which includes adding single wall carbon nanotubes dispersed in an aqueous medium to the conductive polymer (A); (b) mixing the latex from step (a) with either an aqueous latex of a polymer (B), or with a water-soluble precursor of the polymer (B); (c) removing water from the mixture obtained by step (b); (d) heating the product from step (c) to a temperature at which the polymer added in step (b) flows or where the polymer, introduced in step (b) is formed from the water-soluble precursor thereof; and (e) processing and/or solidifying the product of step (d) into a desired form, wherein the amount of the conductive polymer (A) is between 0.1 and 10 wt % relative to the total of components in steps (a) and (b), except water.
