Abstract
Plastics have been widely used for several decades, due to their many advantageous properties including moldability, ruggedness, and low cost. For applications in electricity and electronics, applications for plastics have always been as dielectrics, due to their inherent property as electrical insulators. The invention of conductive plastics has enabled the creation of many products that have previously not existed. This paper describes the invention of conductive plastics and several of the products they have made possible and some that will yet be possible.
