ABSTRACT:
Methods for forming pastes of dendrites particles coated with an electrically conductive coating are described. A surface is placed in contact with an electrolytic or electroless plating solution. Dendrites are formed on the surface. The dendrites are exposed to another plating solution to plate a coating on the surface of the dendrites. The coated dendrites are removed from the surface to form a powder of coated dendrites. The powder is added to a polymer material to form a paste which is heated to fuse the dendrite surfaces to form a network of interconnected dendrites and further heated to cure the polymer. When the paste is disposed between adjacent electrically conductive surfaces, the coated dendrites fuse to the electrically conductive surface to form electrical interconnections.
