Abstract

A method of forming a circuit board includes, a) providing a temporary substrate; b) depositing an uncured electrically insulative circuit board material over the temporary substrate, the circuit board material adhering to the temporary substrate; c) substantially curing the uncured circuit board material into at least one self supporting sheet; d) providing circuit traces atop the cured self supporting sheet; e) mounting an electronic circuit component atop the cured self supporting sheet in electrical communication with the circuit traces; and f) peeling the temporary substrate and cured self supporting sheet from one another. An electronic circuit of the invention includes, i) a self-supporting electrically insulative ink or paint substrate, the ink or paint substrate having an outer surface; ii) circuit traces provided on the ink or paint substrate outer surface; and iii) at least one electronic circuit component mounted to the ink or paint substrate outer surface in electrical connection with the circuit traces.
