Patent ID: 8231808

Claim:
An electroconductive bonding material comprising: a thermosetting or thermoplastic polymer resin matrix; and a conductive filler material comprising a surface modified with nano-structures embedded within the resin matrix and modified by applying a material selected from one of halogens, pseudohalogens or their precursors, the halogens selected from the group consisting of bromine, iodine, metal bromite, metal bromate, metal hyperbromite, metal iodite, metal iodate, metal hyperiodite, and the pseudohalogens or their precursors selected from the group consisting of cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate, halogen-cyanide, halogen-cyanate, halogen-thiocyanate, and metal salts of the above anions wherein the modified conductive filler material embedded within the resin matrix provides a modified electrically conductive adhesive (MECA).
