  Author(s): Marie-Joelle Menu*, Olivier Gavard, Florence Ansart, Marie Gressier, Hiba Azougaghe, Clement Genet and Clement Genet
  
  With the development of smart materials and the requirement of multifunctional systems, coatings were developed with the aim to improve and optimize many properties and especially in the electrical field (resistivity, conductivity, permittivity,..) Relative to the electrical conductivity, the need is growing in many activity areas with the recent tendencies (green technology and energy). Recently, the sol-gel route to process coatings was investigated for its ability to develop innovative multifunctional coatings. Because the sol-gel matrix is known to be completely insulating, the conductivity can be brought by the development of a composite material, with the incorporation of conductive fillers into the insulating network. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the sol-gel coatings, dedicated to the electrical conduction, started in the 2000’s. A rapid introduction.. Read More»
