Electrically conductive compositions are provided. The compositions contain a nonconducting polymeric component and an electrically conducting polymeric component. The electrically conducting component is conducting because it is protonated. These compositions are new since the protonated conductive polymer is insoluble and, therefore, without using the methods of this docket the protonated electrically conductive polymer cannot be substantially uniformly dispersed in the dielectric polymer to form an electrically conductive body. In one embodiment the nonprotonated polymer is mixed in a solvent containing the dielectric polymer and a protonating agent. The solution is exposed to energy such as heat which causes the protonating agent to release a proton which interacts with the nonprotonated polymer to make it conducting. Simultaneously, the heating volatilizes the solvent quickly enough to prevent the protonated polymer from falling out of solution to form an electrically conductive body. In another embodiment the protonating agent is the dielectric polymer which is a carboxylic acid which provides the proton to protonate the polymer to the conducting state. In an application of these compositions paint is electrostatically or electrochemically deposited onto the composition.
