A conducting polymer composite that is crosslinked comprising a
semicrystalline polymer minor phase with conducting filler material
dispersed therein in an amount sufficient to generate a continuous
conductive network in the minor phase, and which is mixed with major phase
polymers, the materials being selected such that the minor phase and major
phases will not engage in electrostatic interactions that promote
miscibility. The minor phase being dispersed in the major phase in an
amount sufficient to generate a continuous conductive network in the
composite material. The composite material is crosslinked by physical or
chemical means. The crosslinked conducting polymer composite having a
reduced amount of conducting filler while supporting a continuous
conductive network in the crosslinked polymer composite.
