Abstract:
1. An electrical conductor comprising: at least one support; a conducting layer comprised of gold, silver, nickel, chrome, copper, platinum, nickel with a phosphorus fraction, or an alloy thereof, the conducting layer having a thickness between 0.1 μm and 10 μm, disposed on the at least one support; and a conductive protective layer disposed over the conducting layer, the conductive layer comprising polyurethane, polyester, or polyacrylic, each with added graphite particles, precious metal particles, or both; wherein the at least one support comprises a temperature-stable and tear-resistant plastic with a greater flexural-fatigue resistance, a lower tensile strength, or both, than that of the conducting layer; further wherein the conductive protective layer has a specific electrical conductivity between 100×10 wherein the electrical conductor is an electric heating element.
