Provided herein are composite conductors, characterized by having copper deposits inside the bulk rather than on the outer surface of a non-metallic conductive porous matrix, such as CNT fabric, as well as a process for obtaining the same. The composite conductors provided herein are also characterized by a low specific weight and a high ampacity compared to metal conductors of similar size and shape.
