A composite conductor assembly is configured as a core composed of
polymeric elastomeric material and a conductive layer in intimate
surrounding contact with the core. The polymeric material provides
elasticity to the core to enable the core to elongate when subjected to
strain forces within a tire. The conductive layer is fabricated from a
low impedance material and may be configured as a composite wherein an
inner base metal is selected as a strength member and an outer metallic
layer is applied to the base for electrical performance enhancement.
