Strands of material may be intertwined using weaving techniques, knitting techniques, non-woven or entanglement techniques, or braiding techniques. Fabric that is formed from the strands of material may be used in forming a fabric-based item. The fabric based item may include electrical components. The strands may include conductive strands that form signal paths. The signal paths can carry electrical signals associated with operation of the electrical components. Each strand may have an elongated core and a coating. Strands may also include intermediate layers between the cores and coatings. The cores, intermediate layers, and coatings may be formed from polymer without conductive filler, polymer with conductive filler, and/or metal. A polymer core may be provided with recesses to help retain subsequently deposited layers such as a metal coating layer. The recesses may be grooves that extend along the longitudinal axis of the core.

In a method making a flexible electrical conductor, a mask layer (216) is applied to a substrate (210). A portion of the mask layer (216) is removed to expose the substrate (210) in an exposed shape (220) corresponding to the conductor. A liquid phase conductor (232) is applied to the portion of the substrate (210). The mask layer (216) is dissolved with a solvent (238) to leave a shaped liquid phase conductor (234) corresponding to the exposed shape on the substrate (210). A primary elastomer layer (240) is applied onto the substrate (210) and the shaped liquid phase conductor (234). The primary elastomer layer (240) and the shaped liquid phase conductor (234) are removed from the substrate (210). A secondary elastomer layer (242) is applied to the shaped liquid phase conductor (234) and the primary elastomer layer (240) to seal the shaped liquid phase conductor (234) therein.

An MOCVD system fabricates high quality superconductor tapes with variable thicknesses. The MOCVD system can include a gas flow chamber between two parallel channels in a housing. A substrate tape is heated and then passed through the MOCVD housing such that the gas flow is perpendicular to the tape's surface. Precursors are injected into the gas flow for deposition on the substrate tape. In this way, superconductor tapes can be fabricated with variable thicknesses, uniform precursor deposition, and high critical current densities.

An electronic device wire conductor formation method includes the steps of using a plastic injection molding machine to create an insulative plastic block, operating a top mold of a transfer-printing equipment to reciprocate an adhesive-applying portion along a transfer-printing portion of a bottom mold for causing the adhesive-applying portion to coat a molten conductive adhesive evenly on the transfer-printing portion, inverting the insulative plastic block to attach molding units thereof onto the transfer-printing portion of the bottom mold for enabling the molten conductive adhesive to be transfer-printed onto U-shaped plates of the molding units, and finally removing the insulative plastic block from the bottom mold and then curing the coated conductive adhesive to form individual conductors on the respective U-shaped plate of molding units.

A method of forming transparent electrodes using printable conductive ink containing conductive materials dispersed in a viscous liquid which upon printing and thermal treatment will vaporise fully leaving behind the conductive material only.
