Abstract: This invention is directed to a polymer thick film transparent conductive composition with haptic response capability that may be used in applications where thermoforming of the base substrate occurs, e.g., as in capacitive switches. Polycarbonate substrates are often used as the substrate and the polymer thick film conductive composition may be used without any barrier layer.
