    摘要: The present invention is directed to flexible conductive articles (600) that include a printed circuit (650) and a stretchable or non-stretchable substrate (610). In some embodiments, the substrate has a printed circuit on both sides. The printed circuit contains N therein a porous synthetic polymer membrane (660) and an electrically conductive trace (670) as well as a non-conducive region (640). The electrically conductive trace is imbibed or otherwise incorporated into the porous synthetic polymer membrane. In some embodiments, the synthetic polymer membrane is microporous. The printed circuit may be discontinuously bonded to the stretchable or non-stretchable substrate by adhesive dots (620). The printed circuits may be integrated into garments, such as smart apparel or other wearable technology.
