Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A conductive composition includes conductive particles, a thermoplastic resin, and a solvent, wherein a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin is 140 to 200 degrees C.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A conductive composition comprising: conductive particles; a thermoplastic resin; and a solvent, wherein a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin is 140 to 200 degrees C., and wherein the thermoplastic resin comprises poly (4, 4′-cyclohexylidenediphenyl) carbonate. 2 . The conductive composition according to claim 1 , wherein a boiling point of the solvent is 200 degrees C. or more. 3 . The conductive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of isophorone, 3-methoxy N, N-dimethylpropanamide, benzyl alcohol, butyl carbitol, ethyl carbitol acetate and tetraglyme. 4 . The conductive composition according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the conductive particles to the thermoplastic resin (weight of the conductive particles:weight of the thermoplastic resin) is in a range of 99:1 to 70:30. 5 . The conductive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive particles are silver particles. 6 . A conductive paste comprising the conductive composition according to claim 1 . 7 . The conductive paste according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive paste is for forming a flexible electric circuit body. 8 . The conductive paste according to claim 6 , wherein the conductive paste is for In-Mold Electronics. 9 . An electric circuit comprising a cured product of the conductive paste according to claim 6 . 10 . A flexible electric circuit body comprising: a flexible base material; and the electric circuit according to claim 9 arranged on the flexible base material. 11 . A method of producing a molded body comprising: forming an electric circuit on a surface of a flexible base material using the conductive paste according to claim 6 ; and forming the molded body by molding the flexible base material, on which the electric circuit was formed, and a resin for molding. 12 . The conductive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of 3-methoxy N, N-dimethylpropanamide, butyl carbitol, ethyl carbitol acetate and tetraglyme.
