Abstract

The present invention relates to polymeric networks that can be made electrically conductive in bulk or which have a surface which is electrically conductive, and which networks exhibit resistivities in the ohm to kilo-ohm range. One aspect of the present, thermosetting invention, then, comprises an electrically conductive polymeric network comprising a cured polymeric network which contains an oxidized additive comprising one or more of an oxidizable aniline, thiophene, or pyrrole additive, which additive was oxidized with an oxidizing agent in situ in the cured polymeric network.
