The dielectric constant and electrical conductivity of a composite of two insulators, poly(1,1-difluoroethylene) (yellow) and K(2)CO(3) (white), increased dramatically near the percolation threshold f(c) (f=concentration of K(2)CO(3)). This intriguing phenomenon can be interpreted in terms of interface percolation caused by the formation of chemically activated interfaces.
