Patent ID: 8840813

Claim:
An adhesive material that provides electrical conductance across a bondline having a thickness in the range between 50 microns and 400 microns, said adhesive material comprising: a) an adhesive polymeric resin that is in the form of a bondline between two substrates wherein the thickness of said bondline is in the range between 50 microns and 400 microns and wherein said adhesive polymeric resin has a lap shear strength; and b) low aspect ratio metal-coated additives disbursed in said adhesive polymeric resin; and c) high aspect ratio metal-coated additives disbursed in said adhesive polymeric resin in an amount in the range of 2 weight percent to 15 weight percent so as to provide electrical conductance across said bondline and wherein the weight ratio of said high aspect ratio metal-coated additives to said low aspect ratio metal-coated additives is about 3 to 1, wherein the lap shear strength of said adhesive material is equal to or greater than the lap shear strength of said adhesive polymeric resin.
