1. A method for forming a body comprising a mixture of a matrix and conductive particles having a low aspect ratio, the method comprising:
providing the mixture comprising the matrix capable of being stabilized and the conductive particles;
aligning the conductive particles into conductive pathways by applying an electric field between alignment electrodes, wherein the electric field is an alternating current field;
stabilizing the mixture; and
second aligning the conductive particles into the conductive pathways by applying the electric field between the alignment electrodes to repair defective conductive pathways,
wherein the electric field applied is in an order of 0.1-20 kV/cm, and
wherein the conductive particles are at least one infusible conductive particle, a metallic particle, a metal oxide particle, and a colloidal metal particle.
