Abstract This whitepaper provides a technology overview of non-metallic conducting materials. Materials discussed include intrinsically conducting polymers (ICP), plasma treated polymers, composites and nanocomposites, and ceramics. The use of nanoparticles dispersed in metallic and intermetallic alloys is also covered. Aluminum alloys and in particular binary alloys are reviewed as well. An extensive summary table listing 52 different conducting materials is presented, including information on conductivity and mechanical properties.

Abstract This whitepaper introduces a novel method for developing Aluminum-based Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). These Aluminum/Carbon Nanotube composite conductors exhibit increased strength and reduced density when compared to copper, aluminum or aluminum alloys. These MMC also show excellent conductivity, which if properly manufactured can be higher than conductivity values for aluminum. The multistage manufacturing process for producing Al/CNT composites is outlined and described in this whitepaper.
