High conductivity polyaniline compositions and uses therefor

A process for depositing conductive pathways from a donor element onto a receiver substrate contiguous with the donor element, wherein the donor element is a layered structure comprising a support layer, one or a plurality of heating layers capable of partially absorbing laser radiation, and an imaging topcoat transfer layer, and, optionally, an ejection layer, the process comprising:

• (a) exposing said support layer to incident laser energy;
• (b) converting said laser energy to heat in the one or plurality of heating layers contiguous with the topcoat;
• said heat applied to said topcoat being sufficient to effect a transfer of at least a portion of said topcoat to a receiving surface;
• wherein the topcoat is a conductive PANI/carbon nanotube composite.
