The major objective of this report is to analyze inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) and, to a lesser extent, traditional conductively filled thermoplastics, in terms of their competitive scenario in specific applications. Another goal is to develop a reasonable scenario for ICP markets outside of their competitive posture vis-à-vis traditional conductive-filled thermoplastics.

1. Conductive Polymers
ReportsnReports.com adds BCC Research Market Research Report “Conductive Polymers
Market’’ to its store.
The major objective of this report is to analyze inherently conductive polymers (ICPs) and,
to a lesser extent, traditional conductively filled thermoplastics, in terms of their competitive
scenario in specific applications. Another goal is to develop a reasonable scenario for
inherently conductive polymers markets outside of their competitive posture vis-à-vis
traditional conductive-filled thermoplastics.
The latter group is often called “”conductive plastics”". However, in several market reports
these materials are often termed “”conductive polymers”", which often leads to some
confusion.
Often ICPs and conductive plastics are termed “”electroactive polymers/plastics”" while in
other studies the phrase “”electroactive”" polymers includes very highly specialized
polymers with both electrical and/or optical characteristics (electro-optic polymers).
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
 Descriptions of various electroactive polymer applications including electrostatic
dissipation control, antistatic packaging, light emitting displays, capacitors, electrostatic
paintable plastics, corrosion-resistant paints/coatings and electrostatic spray painting
 The current global market status for electroactive polymers, with trends and forecasts
for growth over the next 5 years
 Analysis of the electroactive polymer industry on a worldwide basis, both from a market
and application perspective
 The latest technological advancements along with a thorough patent analysis
 Company profiles.
METHODOLOGY
 Both primary and secondary research sources were used to gather information,
including:
 Complete literature review on products and technology.
 Patent search.
 Contacts with key personnel from producers, suppliers, and end users.
