Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing an electrically conductive composition comprising reducing the viscosity of a molten masterbatch to form a reduced viscosity molten masterbatch; and mixing the reduced viscosity molten masterbatch with a polymer to form the electrically conductive composition. Disclosed herein too is a method of manufacturing an electrically conductive composition comprising mixing a molten masterbatch with a first polymer in a first extruder, wherein the first polymer has a melt viscosity that is lower than the melt viscosity of the molten masterbatch; reducing the melt viscosity of the molten masterbatch to form a reduced viscosity molten masterbatch; and mixing the reduced viscosity molten masterbatch with a second polymer in a second extruder to form the electrically conductive composition.
