Abstract
Abstract An electrically conductive composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a copper powder, from 2 to 100 parts by weight of a resin binder, and from 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of an additive agent, wherein the additive agent is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of α-ketols, aliphatic and aromatic thiols, thiodiarylamines, tall oils, rosins, rosin esters, higher fatty acid amides, o-aminophenols, 2,2'-dipyridyls, and 2,2'-diquinolyls.
