1. A cured bondable flexible printed circuit comprising:
- a first conductor comprising carbon nanotubes, larger diameter conductive particles having at least one dimension of at least 100 nanometers which are not carbon nanotubes, and a cured polymer;
where said carbon nanotubes are oriented in a three-dimensional matrix with said larger diameter conductive particles in the cured polymer, and carbon nanotubes protrude from a surface of said cured polymer and;
a second conductor that is bonded to said carbon nanotubes protruding from the surface of the polymer of the first conductor.

Abstract
A bondable conductive ink comprising carbon nanotubes, larger diameter conductive particles having at least one dimension of at least 100 nanometers which are not carbon nanotubes, a polymer, and a solvent, and a method of producing this bondable conductive ink. The ink is highly suitable for producing circuit assemblies having non-conductive substrates upon which printed conductors, formed from the bondable conductive ink, may be easily and selectively interconnected to another circuit assembly device, and/or apparatus.
