Summary:

In the summary of invention, each important salient feature is explained as follows:

1. In this method of invention, using appropriate selection of natural fibrous materials like jute cellulose, cellulose triacetate material, aloe Vera, agave and gunnyby and similar type of materials are used as polymer sources.

2. Using advanced nano technology methods like electro spinning, nano fibers are extracted from these materials and doped with certain concentration of nano carbon materials and some other catalytic materials.

3. Due to polymerization these compounds form unique strength of polymers which not only takes the load, also conducts electricity or heat with enhanced physical parameters.

4. These advanced polymers by changing the compositions and adding some other materials will yield thermally conductive fibers, electrically conductive fibers, thermally insulating and electrically insulating fibers, thermally insulating but electrically conductive polymers, thermally conductive but electrically insulating fibers and optically translucent fibers and optically conductive fibers can be produced.

4. Description
Polymers are used as insulation material only in cable industry since long time. But with advanced polymers and wide acceptance of jelly filled cables by industry, the possibility of producing conducting polymers is increasing in demand. If conductive polymers are used as cables by combining ayoiding copper wires, it not only reduces the weight and cost but also increases flexibility of cables for power transmission.

Background of invention

Conductive polymers or, more precisely, intrinsically conducting polymers are organic polymers that conductelectricity. Such compounds may have metallic conductivity or can be semiconductors. The biggest advantage of conductive polymers is their processability, mainly by dispersion. Conductive polymers are generally not thermoplastics, i.e., they are not thermoformable. But, like insulating polymers, they are organic materials. They can offer high electrical conductivity but do not show similar mechanical properties to other commercially available polymers. The electrical properties can be fine-tuned using the methods of organic synthesis and by advanced dispersion techniques.
