Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an electrically conductive polymer composite comprising the steps of (a) providing electrically conductive particles, a monomer, and a cross-linking agent to form a reaction mixture, (b) bringing said reaction mixture to a process temperature which is greater than the melting temperature of the monomer and than the temperature at which the polymerization is activated, said polymerization is considered to be activated when at least 5% of the monomer was converted, (c) retrieving a cross-linked electrically conductive polymer composite comprising said electrically conductive particles, characterized in that said monomer is of formula (I) R^aR^bC=CR^c((X)_n-R) and in that step (b) of the process is carried out in a reaction mixture comprising not more than 100 wt % of an organic solvent with respect to the total weight of the monomer. The present invention also relates to an electrically conductive polymer composite obtained by the present process.
