In contrast to metals, common polymers are poor electron conductors. Similar to mechanical properties, their electric properties depend to a great extent on the flexibility of the polymer’s molecular blocks. The intent of this chapter is to familiarize the reader with electrical properties of polymers by discussing their dielectric, conductive, and magnetic properties.
