Abstract
Abstract The disclosure relates to an applied film of a non-conducting lacquer comprising a mixture of non-conducting or weakly conducting metallic powder with a lacquer base wherein the mixture is changed into a good conductor by applying a conductivating agent in the presence of a solvent. The method lends itself to the manufacture of plate electrodes for batteries, conducting yarn, conducting nets, electrical circuits, heating elements, charge accumulation prevention shields, radio wave shields, etc. from films of a non-conducting or weakly conducting lacquer.
