Plastic Conductors
As with most industries, engineers of electronic devices are focused on two main design elements—performance and cost. Trying to find components that actually achieve both of those usually results in some sort of trade-off. One company, however, claims to have developed a material that helps engineers meet their performance and cost goals, while also offering something that has never been available before: a lightweight plastic capable of reaching the same conductive performance as some of the finest metal conductors on the market.
