Composite Plastic-Metal Conductor

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Applied Materials Research in Bremen, Germany have successfully created a plastic and metal composite conductive material. Cheaper and lighter than traditional metal conductors, this new material could significantly reduce the cost of printed circuit boards as well as decrease their size and weight with particular applications in the automobile and aircraft manufacturing industries.
