Abstract: Method and associated apparatus (1) for bringing together one or more first bodies comprising a first substance with one or more second bodies comprising a second substance for the purpose of the first and second bodies, or the first and second substances contained therein, chemically and/or physically reacting together. the apparatus (1) comprising: a container (48) containing a dielectric medium (50) comprising one or more dielectric materials. especially one or more dielectric fluids or pseudo-fluids: first means (10N; 30, 36, 14, 10T) for forming the said one or more first bodies comprising the first substance and applying thereto an electric charge of a first polarity. and second means (20N; 30, 38, 24, 20T) for forming the said one or more second bodies comprising the second substance and applying thereto an electric charge of a second polarity.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprises at least one substantially non-conductive polymer and at least one electrically conductive filler and in the form of granules, the granules preferably being in the size range up to 1 mm and more preferably between 0.04 mm and 0.2 mm, with the volume ratio of conductor to polymer preferably being at least 3:1.
