Polymer-based electrically conductive pastes have been used to make the conductive paths between voltage sources and devices. The pastes used for these applications consist of two main components: a polymer binder and a conductive filler. Having both low viscosity and good metal-encapsulating properties, cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) was regarded to be a good candidate as a binder for the conductive paste. We have prepared a formulation for a novel conductive paste based on CAB. Preliminary studies showed that this conductive paste revealed stable conductivity, together with uniform coating and flexibility.
