This project deals with the concepts and development of a                       superconductive composite wire (SCOW).  Since the latest generation             of the higher temperature (Tc&gt; 77 K) superconductors are ceramic                materials, their processing and more important, their durability, are           major problems.  It is proposed that the superconductive ceramic                particles be incorporated into a tough polymeric matrix to produce a            composite wire.  The microstructure of the wire should be such that             particle-to-particle contacts are established; the electrical                   conduction will then take place by percolation mechanisms.  The                 required microstructure will be developed by using special processing           conditions (appropriate shear rates) that will promote aggregation of           particles to generate particle-to-particle contacts.  In spite of a             possible limitation of a low current capacity, the superconductive              composite wire will be cost-effective and highly durable and                    reliable.
