Abstract:
A method of enhancing surface electrical conductivity of an article formed of a conductive polymer material, such as a conductive polymer film, includes the step of providing an article formed of a conductive polymer . The conductive polymer is made up of a dielectric polymeric material and conductive fibers. A desired pressure is applied to at least a portion of the article while simultaneously heating at least a portion of the article to a desired temperature. The desired pressure and the desired temperature are maintained on at least a portion of the article for a desired time period. This method reduces a polymer-rich skin layer on the surface of the conductive polymer material and helps to randomize the orientation of the conductive fibers on the surface.

Claim (Index 19):
The conductive polymer tape according to  claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises the steps of:\n providing the conductive polymer tape in the form of a plurality of conductive polymer tapes comprising a dielectric polymeric material and conductive fibers; and arranging the plurality of conductive polymer tapes in a desired orientation.
