Hello Guys

I search for a material, which is conducting? But not a metal.

It must be solid like plastics or metal. And I must get it in the internet or someting like that. I need it for galvanik.

Any ideas?

Greetings

Conductive polymers are expensive and hard to work with.  Start with a Wikipedia topic to learn the general concepts.  SigmaAldrich publishes Material Matters, and you can learn specific topics from a technical standpoint.  Maybe when you know exactly what you want, you can find it on ebay

How well shall it conduct? Don't hope to compete with metals!

Graphite parts conduct electricity, rather well - they serve as battery electrodes for instance. Resists corrosion nicely. Most likely candidate for electrochemistry.

Graphite spray can also be bought easily. It serves on insulating materials before depositing films of copper or nickel electrochemically.

Plastics can be loaded with graphite powder. Used for casings of electronic boards. They won't carry amperes nor provide electromagnetic shielding, but are excellent against static electricity. Similar efficiency from graphite fibres in polymers.

Thanks guys.

What is the reason why graphite goes solved? What exactly happend whit the graphite?

And is there a amps or a volt limit? So that graphit is stable and a point which destroys the graphit?
