Conductive plastics are a type of material that combines the features of plastics and conductivity.
They are also known as intrinsically conductive polymers (ICPs) or conductive polymer composites.
These materials are created by integrating conductive particles or polymers into a plastic matrix, resulting in a material that can conduct electricity while remaining lightweight, flexible, and moldable.
The presence of conjugated pi-electron systems inside the polymer structure causes the conductivity of conductive polymers.
These electrons can flow throughout the polymer chain, allowing electrical charge to be transferred.
Polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene are examples of conductive polymers.
Because of their small weight, conductive plastics can be utilized in flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs), touchscreens, sensors, and electromagnetic shielding.
These materials are used to make antistatic coatings, films, and packaging to avoid static electricity buildup, which can be harmful to sensitive electronic components.
Despite their benefits, conductive plastics have drawbacks, such as poorer conductivity than traditional metals and susceptibility to breakdown under certain conditions.
Researchers are actively attempting to increase the conductivity and stability of these materials, hence expanding their uses in a variety of industries.
Conductive polymers are being researched for usage in medical devices such as brain interface electrodes and flexible bioelectronics.
The Global conductive plastics market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
PolyJoule, Inc. has reported production validation of their Conductive Polymer Battery Technology following a 10,000+ cell manufacturing run.
The new batteries, which are based on PolyJoule’s unique conductive polymers and other organic, non-metallic materials, are intended for stationary power applications where safety, lifetime, levelized prices, and environmental footprints are important decision drivers.
Because of their no-HVAC thermal management architecture, PolyJoule’s conductive polymer cells straddle the performance curve between classic lead-acid batteries and current lithium-ion cells, extending service life and lowering balance-of-plant costs.
The cells have been tested to perform 12,000 cycles at full depth of discharge.
The PolyJoule Power Cell, the first-generation cell release, is well suited for mission-critical power applications in the utility and industrial spaces.
