Abstract From the Canadian patent

The invention relates to electrical devices comprising an electrode and a conductive polymer composition preferably a PTC com-, position, in contact with the electrode. The process of the invention comprises contacting the composition and the electrode while the composition is at a temperature (Tp) above its melting point (Tm) and the electrode is at a temperature (Te) above the melting point of the composition Tp and Te being, the same or different for a time which is sufficient to reduce the contact resistance between the electrode and the composition but which is not sufficient substantially to reduce the resistivity of the composition, for example, 2 time less than 5 minutes. Preferably …
