Conductive Fillers & Fibers

Conductive fillers and fibers in plastics are designed to impart electrical conductivity to insulating materials. These additives typically appear as fine powders, flakes, or fibers. Key features of conductive fillers and fibers include their ability to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, enhance thermal conductivity, and improve the overall electrical properties of the plastic. They are suitable for applications in electronics, automotive components, and medical devices. 

A notable trend in this field is the increasing use of advanced materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes. Sub-types of conductive fillers and fibers include metal flakes, carbon fibers, and metal-coated fibers.
