Found this to be interesting view of Integral's product (from TS review board on iHub!):
"I've been in this business for over 40 years and seen all these vendors come through here with their "conductive plastics" that were supposed to do all the same things claimed by itkg. None of them ever worked worth a crap for very long, if at all.
There was always some "if's, and's, and but's" attached to the deal (kind of like Cetecom's approval of Plastenna). ITKG doesn't even provide a spec sheet for their miracle formula/process. No NHB qualification, no MIL-SPEC qualifications, no ASTM protocal. The basic manufacturing process described the same stuff I saw decades ago, and even the same patents. Just another macro conductor sandwich, and if
you think for a second that it's going to replace silicon, then you've obviously never participated in qualifying materials in the lab. No one in their right mind's ever going to mess with this stuff as a silicon wafer replacement. As far as the rest of the multitude of applications, manufacturing sector has a laundry list of specifications and tests that have to be run before they'll even look at the material prior to consider selling it on the market or using it in a manufactured item. This is just another re-run of the same stuff that's been around off and on for quite a few years.
Maybe someone will qualify it for something, but this is all just a repeat of previous attempts at doing something on the macro level that should be done on an atomic level...i.e. modifying the Fermi energy level."
Don't know who this guy is but it sounds like he knows a thing or five about plastics. I know that everyone here believes what IR and others are telling them but we will wait and see, I suppose.
