A process for producing bi-continuous morphologies in polymer melts and solids, wherein two distinct domains or phases percolate and macroscopically connect throughout the composition. The process proceeds by simply mixing the components in a common solvent and casting a film by slow removal of the solvent. Bulk materials can be produced by mixing the components in an extruder, compounder, or other specialized equipment for processing molten polymers, and forming into a pellet, fiber, film, sheet, or molded part. The invention allows the production of materials with unique or unusual combinations of transparency, high electronic or ionic conductivity, high vapor transport rates, and/or high absorption rates of moisture or vapors . Particles used in the present invention are 5-10 nm to yield a scale of the bi-continuous structures of 10-50 nm. The materials can be produced in bulk form, or in films 1-100 microns thick.
