Conductive member, touch panel sensor, touch panel, and method for manufacturing molded article

Abstract

A conductive member is provided including a substrate, an interlayer disposed on at least one surface of the substrate, a patterned plating target layer disposed in the form of a mesh on the interlayer having a functional group interacting with a plating catalyst or a precursor thereof, a mesh-shaped metal layer that is disposed on the patterned plating target layer and includes a plurality of crossing thin metal wires, and a protective layer disposed on the metal layer. In a case where “a” represents a modulus of elasticity of the substrate at 25° C. and “b” represents a modulus of elasticity of the interlayer at 25° C., the conductive member satisfies the following Formula A, Formula A: 0.010≤b/a≤0.500, an area ratio of the metal layer is 0.2% to 60%, and a modulus of elasticity of the protective layer at 25° C. is 0.10 to 5.00 GPa.
