Further, very thin electrically con- ductive connections were deposited on the CFRP composite substrates. Figure 5 shows thin Ag and Cu electrical connec- tions directly deposited on composite substrates using amask (Fig. 5a) with different width designs between 0.2 to 0.8 mm. ~iTSSe For more information: Reeti Singh, Impact Innovations GmbH, Bürgermeister-Steinberger-Ring 1, 84431 Haun/ Rattenkirchen, Germany, +49 (0)8636 695190-19, reeti.singh@ impact-innovations.com , www.impact-innovations.com.
