Claims
- 1. A stretched metal/polymer composite comprising a plastic substrate having a plurality of longitudinally extending conductive members provided thereon, said conductive members comprising a rigid polymeric core having a metal coating thereon.
- 2. The stretched metal/polymer composite of claim 1 wherein said plastic substrate has a thickness of about 0.05-2 mm.
- 3. The stretched metal/polymer composite of claim 1 wherein the thickness of said plastic substrate and the thickness of said rigid polymer core have a thickness ratio of about 1:1-100:1.
- 4. The stretched metal/polymer composite of claim 1 wherein said rigid polymer core has a cross section of an isosceles triangle.
- 5. The stretched metal/polymer composite of clam 2 wherein said conductive members are provided in a density of greater than 20 members/cm.
- 6. A metal/polymer composite comprising a plastic substrate, a metal layer and a polymeric ridge region lying thereunder, said metal/polymer composite further comprising a plurality of connective polymeric groove regions, wherein the thickness of a cross section of said ridge regions is greater than the thickness of a cross section of said groove regions.
- 7. A metal/polymer composite of claim 6 wherein the ratio of the thickness of said plastic substrate at said ridge regions to the thickness of said plastic substrate at said groove regions is about 1.2:1-10:1.
- 8. A metal/polymer composite of claim 6 wherein said metal layer has a thickness of about 0.05-5 .mu.m.
