1. An electrically conductive composition comprising:

  • a matrix comprising substantially a first thermoplastic component selected from polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate and polycarbonate acrylonitrile butadiene styrene;

    a second thermoplastic component having a higher polarity than that of said first thermoplastic component, said second component encapsulating a plurality of fibers forming a network of encapsulated fibers within said matrix; and

    a carbon component preferentially attracted to said second component so as to make said network an electrically conductive network within said matrix, said carbon component located at the interface between said second thermoplastic component and said matrix wherein said carbon component is carbon black and is present in an amount less than 10 parts per hundred.
