1. A composite conductor assembly comprising:
- an elongate core formed at least partially from a flexible, high impedance material;
an elongate conductive layer placed at least partially around the core, the conductor assembly elongating from an initial relaxed state into an extended state in reaction to strain and from the extended state returning to an original, optimal and intended shape when released from the influence of the strain on the conductor assembly.

Abstract
A composite conductor assembly is configured as a core composed of polymeric elastomeric material and a conductive layer in intimate surrounding contact with the core. The polymeric material provides elasticity to the core to enable the core to elongate when subjected to strain forces within a tire. The conductive layer is fabricated from a low impedance material and may be configured as a composite wherein an inner base metal is selected as a strength member and an outer metallic layer is applied to the base for electrical performance enhancement.
