Abstract
An electrically conductive elastomer for grafting to an elastic substrate is disclosed. The conductive elastomer comprises a non-conductive elastic material having a quantity of conductive flakes interspersed therein. The conductive elastomer may further comprise a quantity of conductive particles interspersed in the non-conductive elastic material. Alternatively, a quantity of conductive particles may be imbedded in an outer surface of the conductive elastomer. The conductive elastomer is typically grafted to an elastic substrate by a thermal process.
