Randomized trial demonstrates exceptional electrical resistance in composites, suggesting new applications in materials science.

Key Points

This research aims to explore the unique properties of a metal-polymer composite created by carefully mixing components to retain particle structures.
Nano-scale features on filler particles were preserved through careful mixing techniques.
Conductive fillers with sharp surface protrusions were integrated into an insulating polymer matrix.
Properties of the composite were analyzed against the expected percolation threshold.
The composite exhibits extremely high resistance even with filler loadings above the percolation threshold.
Field assisted tunneling was identified at the tips of the filler particles.
The insulating polymer layer between filler particles prevented chain formations, enhancing resistance.
