Abstract:
1. An electrical interface comprising: a first conductor having a surface; a nano-particle layer having a first surface and an opposite second surface, the first surface of the nano-particle layer electrically coupled to the surface of the first conductor; a second conductor having a surface electrically coupled to the opposite second surface of the nano-particle layer; wherein the nano-particle layer comprises nano-particle material selected from the group consisting of carbon-containing nano-particles, metal nanowires, and mixtures thereof; wherein the carbon-containing nano-particles comprise carbon nanotubes; and wherein the nano-particle layer comprises a metal foil having the first surface and the opposite second surface; and wherein the carbon nanotubes are formed on at least one of the first surface and the opposite second surface of the metal foil.
