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 20):
The conductive polymer tape according to  claim 14 , wherein desired orientation is selected from the group consisting of arranging the plurality of conductive polymer tapes in an adjacent parallel fashion, arranging the plurality of conductive polymer tapes in an overlapping perpendicular fashion, and arranging the plurality of conductive polymer tapes in an interwoven fashion.
