Properties of Synthetic Good Conductors of Electricity

Abstract

FOR both theoretical and practical reasons, it is of considerable interest to develop synthetic good conductors of electricity. From a theoretical point of view, these could serve as interesting alternative model substances by which to test various theories of electric current flow in solids. From a practical point of view, synthetic good conductors might for some purposes become useful rivals to the best natural good conductors, such as copper or silver.
