One of the research priorities and hot topics about conductive polymer composites (CPCs) is controlling the distribution of conductive filler to lower the percolation threshold and improve the combination properties. Among them

the technique for preparing CPCs with segregated conductive network

which can reduce the percolation threshold significantly

was studied extensively. In the present paper

methods for preparing CPCs with segregated conductive network were reviewed

including mechanical mixing

solution mixing

latex method

etc. The reasons for the low percolation threshold were discussed

the responses of the resistivity of these CPCs to external fields

such as temperature filed

solvent

etc.

were summarized. Based on the microstructure of the CPCs

we pointed out that the enhancement of the mechanical properties is the key factor to promote the applications of these CPCs.
