摘要:
Diclosed is a circuit element (200) that includes a thermoplastic substrate (210) and a conductive trace (220) at least partially embedded in the thermoplastic substrate (210). Also disclosed is a method of forming a circuit element (200). The method includes the steps of providing a thermoplastic substrate (210) having a softening temperature, printing a conductive ink onto the thermoplastic substrate to form a trace (220), and embedding the trace into the thermoplastic substrate (210) by heating the thermoplastic substrate (210) to a temperature above about the softening temperature about the trace (220).
