CHEMICALLY GRAFTED ELECTRICAL DEVICES

摘要

An electrical device is provided having a conductive coating or layer (20) chemically grafted to a support structure (18) to produce a durable, conductive surface permanently attached to the underlying substrate material . The grafted layer (20) can be embodied in an electrical contact (16), and ca n also be embodied as electrical traces (72) and contact areas (66) of circuit board (60) and electrical and electronic devices and components. In another embodiment, the grafted layer (20) can be provided in an RFI/EMI shield or ground plane.
