摘要 |
A limited use, disposable article ( 20 ), comprises a matrix-substrate ( 22 ), and an electrically-conductive region ( 24 ) of a separately provided, electrically-conductive material that has been operatively applied to the matrix-substrate from a viscous configuration of the electrically-conductive material. The matrix-substrate includes a first matrix-region ( 26 ), and at least a second matrix-region ( 28 ). At least the second matrix-region ( 28 ) can include a treatment that provides for an operative formation of a selected resistivity in the electrically-conductive region. The first matrix-region ( 26 ) has a high resistivity, and the electrically-conductive region ( 24 ) is positioned operatively adjacent the second matrix-region ( 28 ). The electrically-conductive region ( 24 ) has a low resistivity, as determined when the electrically-conductive region is positioned operatively adjacent the second matrix-region and configured for its intended use.
