1. A method for enhancing the conductivity of a non-conductive surface comprising the step of:
applying a translucent conductive coating to a non-conductive surface, said non-conductive surface having a sheet resistance of about 1010 ohm/square or greater, said translucent conductive coating comprising an amount of water-borne polyurethane coating combined with about 15 to about 35 wt % of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrenesulfonate) solution and about 0.1 to about 0.5 wt % of metal-containing nanowires; wherein the coating has a sheet resistance of greater than 103 ohms/square to about 106 ohm/square.
