PolyCondCreating a competitive edge for the
European POLYmer processing industry by driving
new added-value products with CONDucting polymers

• The aim of the PolyCond project is to develop
  conductive plastic composites that are
  eco-friendly, cost effective and of high added
  value. This will be achieved through an ambitious
  multidisciplinary approach developing new,
  radically innovative, knowledge-based and
  sustainable products for protection against the
  effects of Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and
  Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
