Abstract
Abstract An electrically conductive paste composition comprises an electric conductive powder, an organic binder comprising (A) a polyhydroxystyrene derivative and (B) a thermosetting resin at a weight ratio of (A) to (B) in the range between 5/95 and 95/5 and a solvent. The paste is used for an electric circuit printed on a substrate and improved in view of migration resistance, flexibility and reliability.
