We demonstrate an approach to significantly reduce the electrical resistivity in a polyurethane shape-memory polymer (SMP) filled with randomly distributed carbon black (CB). With an additional small amount of randomly distributed Ni microparticles (0.5 vol %) in the SMP/CB composite, its electrical resistivity is only reduced slightly. However, if these Ni particles are aligned into chains (by applying a low magnetic field on the SMP/CB/Ni solution before curing), the drop of the electrical resistivity is significant. This approach, although demonstrated in a SMP, is applicable to other conductive polymers. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
