Abstract
A thermally stable electrically conductive polymer mixture, for use in forming electrically conductive molded articles, includes at least two additives for contributing to the polymer mixture's electrical conductivity. At least one of the additives concentrates at or near the surface of a molded article for electrical surface conductivity, while at least one other additive concentrates at or near the core of a molded article to heighten electrical core conductivity to promote electrostatic discharge.
