You may also need to think about how you want the product to behave when stretched; there are many stretch properties and tests that can be performed to achieve the appropriate amount of flexibility based on your application.
The more stringent the requirements are, the more scrutiny and testing is involved during TPE creation.

Metallic fibers that create electrical conductivity include copper, silver and stainless steel.
Stainless Steel + Copper Fibers
Copper filler, often in powder or flake form, is also a good substitute for aluminum, as it has a much higher melting point and doesn’t corrode like aluminum will.
