The electrical conductivity of two-phase mixtures of an ionic conductor with dispersed insulator particles is described using a percolative transport model. The difference of grain sizes, the existence and anisotropy of confined high conductivity paths near the grain interfaces are implemented by simple rules. The model is capable of simulating the two cases of ionic conductor/insulator composites : those with and those without strong interfacial interactions. The discussed experimental examples are LiI-A1203, CuBr-A1203 and CuBr-TiO2.
