The present invention relates to curable compositions that are suitable for use as electrically conductive materials in the fabrication of electronic devices, integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, passive components, solar cells, solar modules, and/or light emitting diodes. The curable compositions comprise a) one or more curable resins; b) composite particles, which comprise i) an electrically conductive core, and ii) an electrically conductive shell, comprising one or more shell materials each selected from the group consisting of metal carbides, metal sulfides, metal borides, metal silicides, and metal nitrides; and c) electrically conductive particles different from component b). The present invention further relates to a method of bonding a first substrate to a second substrate, wherein the substrates are bonded under heat and pressure using said curable composition. |
