Abstract:
1. An electrical interconnect comprising: (a) at least one first electrical contact; (b) at least one second electrical contact; and, (c) a first adhesive interposed between and in contact with the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact, the adhesive comprising an electrically non-conductive resin and particles, the particles comprising a core and a breakable coating of at least one electrically non-conductive material, the core comprising: (1) at least one first subparticle comprising a reactive resin, having conductive material therein, encapsulated inside a rupturable membrane; and, (2) at least one second subparticle comprising a catalyst encapsulated inside a rupturable membrane, wherein the first electrical contact is positioned close enough to the second electrical contact to break the breakable coating of the particles in the interposed first adhesive such that the first subparticle membrane and the second subparticle membrane are ruptured, whereby the reactive resin and the catalyst react to form a conductive second adhesive between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact.
