ABSTRACT A flowable conductive composition and an electroconductive element fabricated from the flowable conductive composition, in which the composition comprises mica flakes coated with conductive metal and an organic binder. An electroconductive element comprises mica flakes coated with conductive metal embedded in a matrix of organic material. Also disclosed are a silver-coated mica flake, for incorporation in composition and an electroconductive element, and methods for fabricating an electroconductive element. The electroconductive element is useful, for example, as a termination element for capacitors, as an internal conductive element in capacitors of the type used in thick-film technology applications, as an element for dissipation of electrostatic charge, or as electromagnetic shielding. |
