Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to electrically conductive, potentially adhesive compositions and to films formed from these compositions which are capable of being employed in particular for the adhesive bonding of the surfaces of electronic devices. These compositions are characterized in that they comprise a thermoplastic block copolymer containing polysiloxane and urethane groups, with elastomeric properties and particles whose surface at least is electrically conductive and, if appropriate, a solvent or diluent.
