Conductive polymer nanocomposites have a broad range of applications. There are two different categories. One is the conductive fillers percolated insulating polymer system. The other is the conductive polymer based nanocomposites. In this presentation, we demonstrated that the conductive polymers can be tuned by varying the synthetic parameters for various morphologies. The related nanocomposites filled with WO3 will be included. The unique negative permittivity is presented. The application of the conducive polymer filler in fabricating epoxy nanocomposite system is discussed as well.
