....a unique synthetic polymer that can be made in either a conducting or an insulating form...."


    This suggests a PC board to me , one made in three dimensions entirely of plastic.



     The components could be racked onto a frame lowered into a solution containing the fibers and the conducting traces laid from contact pad to contact pad by computer cotrolled lasers with no need for solder , then the components could be bonded to one another with the insulating verity of plastic attached in the same way in another bath.


     This process could be repeated building the circuit like a wedding cake or like the layers of an onion. winding up with a circuit of minimal size and weight .


     Similar processes can already build three dimensional models , but with the addition of very strong fibers and the choice of installing insulating and conducting traces , including electrical components and an open framework for active cooling  , we could shrink electronic devices another notch twards nanao.
