Electrically conductive compositions of carbon particles and methods for their production.

ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITIONS OF CARBON PARTICLES HAVE BEEN PRESENTED THAT HAVE THIN COATINGS OF A CONDUCTIVE POLYMER. THIN COATINGS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYMER INTERACT ELECTRICALLY WITH EACH CARBON PARTICLE AND PROTECT CARBON PARTICLES FROM CONDUCTIVE FAILURES. BECAUSE THE CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITIONS OF COATED CARBON PARTICLES MAINTAIN THEIR CONDUCTIVITY CHARACTERISTICS EVEN AFTER LONG EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS, THEY ARE USEFUL AS FILLING MATERIALS USED FOR USED POLYMER COMPOSITIONS.
