Abstract
Moldable capsules of a conductive loaded resin-based material are created. The moldable capsules include a conductive element core radially surrounded by a resin-based material. The conductive loaded resin-based material includes micron conductive powder(s), conductive fiber(s), or a combination of conductive powder and conductive fibers in a base resin host. The conductive element core includes between about 20% and about 50% of the total weight of the moldable capsule in one embodiment, between about 20% and about 40% in another embodiment, between about 25% and about 35% in another embodiment, and about 30% in another embodiment. The micron conductive powders are formed from non-metals, that may also be metallic plated, or from metals, that may also be metallic plated, or from a combination of non-metal, plated, or in combination with, metal powders. The micron conductor fibers preferably are of nickel plated carbon fiber, stainless steel fiber, copper fiber, silver fiber, or the like.
