    Abstract: A multi-strand composite electrical conductor assembly includes a strand formed of carbon nanotubes and an elongated metallic strand having substantially the same length as the carbon nanotube strand. The assembly may further include a plurality of metallic strands that have substantially the same length as the carbon nanotube strand. The carbon nanotube strand may be located as a central strand and the plurality of metallic strands surround the carbon nanotube strand. The metallic strand may be formed of a material such as copper, silver, gold, or aluminum and may be plated with a material such as nickel, tin, copper, silver, and/or gold. Alternatively or additionally, the metallic strand may be clad with a material such as nickel, tin, copper, silver, and/or gold.

    Abstract: An electrically conductive polymer film is presented. The electrically conductive polymer film includes a polymeric base material, a plurality of electrically conductive nanoparticles randomly oriented within the polymeric base material, and a pair of electrodes electrically interconnected with the plurality of electrically conductive nanoparticles. The electrodes are configured to be connected to an electrical power source. The polymeric base material may e.g. be polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, acrylic, polyester, and/or polyamide. The plurality of electrically conductive nanoparticles may be metallic nanowires, metal-plated nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoparticles, and/or graphene oxide nanoparticles. The plurality of electrically conductive nanoparticles may also or alternatively include an inherently conductive polymer such as polylanine, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene polystyrene sulfonate, and/or 4,4-cyclopentadithiophene. The plurality of electrically conductive nanoparticles may be substantially uniformly distributed throughout the polymeric base material.

    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly is presented herein. The electrical connector includes a pair of connector blocks each defining a groove in an end surface that is configured to have an electrical conductor of an electrical cable partially disposed within it, e.g. a carbon nanotube conductor. The electrical connector also includes a housing configured to receive connector blocks, align the groove of one connector block with the groove of the other connector block, and hold the connector blocks together such that the electrical conductors within the grooves are in direct physical and electrical contact with the one another and are compressed. An electrical cable assembly incorporating such as connector and an method of manufacturing a cable assembly using such a connector is also presented.
