Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for producing a conductor. The method includes: applying a resin forming composition containing a polymerizable compound and a solvent on a substrate; polymerizing the polymerizable compound in the applied resin forming composition to form a resin structure that is porous on the substrate; and applying a conductor forming composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of metal oxide particles and metal particles on the resin structure.

The present invention describes various methods for manufacturing gel composite sheets using segmented fiber or foam reinforcements and gel precursors. Additionally, rigid panels manufactured from the resulting gel composites are also described. The gel composites are relatively flexible enough to be wound and when unwound, can be stretched flat and made into rigid panels using adhesives.
