Anisotropically conductive polymeric matrix
First Claim
1. An anisotropically conductive polymeric matrix comprising a polymer layer having a plurality of electrically conductive members therethrough, spaced such that at least some of said members are electrically isolated from one another, said members being at least partically tubular and comprising a deformable coating of an electricallty conductive material formed in shapes which extend from one face of said layer substantially through the thickness thereof, such shapes resulting from the use of removable forming means, whereby electric current can be conducted through the thickness of said polymeric layer by said members.
