✦ Synopsis
In this work, the electrical characterization of three extrinsic polymeric conducting systems was carried out using complex impedance spectroscopy. These systems were obtained by the incorporation of conducting fillers (carbon black and metallic copper), on the one hand, and, on the other hand, by blending with a superconducting ceramic (YBaCuO). The experimental results prove that the electrical characteristics of these systems vary as a function of the nature of the filler added. In the case of metallic copper, the resulting composites possess a conductivity which is intermediate between insulating materials and semiconductors. When carbon black is incorporated in concentrations above lo%, the composites may be considered as metalliclike from the point of view of conductivity. Finally, when the filler is YBaCuO, the low conductivity values obtained are indicative of insulating materials regardless of their composition.
