FLEXIBLE TAPE HAVING BRIDGES OF ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES EXTENDING ACROSS ITS PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE LAYER

摘要

Flexible tape having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing particles, each particle having a ferromagnetic core and an electrically conductive surface. By virtue of the ferromagnetic cores, the particles can be magnetically attracted to form a large number of discrete electrically conductive bridges extending through the thickness of the adhesive layer. The tape can be used both to bond together and to electrically connect individual members of facing arrays of electrodes.
