Abstract

[Problem] To provide a flame-retardant conductive paste which is capable of forming a dried coating film that exhibits excellent flame retardancy such that the dried coating film does not catch fire even if there is an outbreak of fire in the vicinity thereof, or such that even in cases where the dried coating film caught fire, the fire is immediately put out, while having excellent electrical conductivity and high adhesion to a base material, thereby being not susceptible to separation from the base material, and which is suitable for use in an electrode of a capacitor. [Solution] A flame-retardant conductive paste which contains flake-like silver particles, a resin, a flame retardant and an organic solvent, wherein: the solid content that is composed of the flake-like silver particles, the resin and the flame retardant is from 40% by weight to 90% by weight; the content of the flake-like silver particles in the solid content is from 80% by weight to 95% by weight; the weight ratio of the resin to the flame retardant is from 91:9 to 40:60; and the flame retardant is composed of a phosphoric acid ester compound.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a hard rolled-copper foil which, when heated and laminated on an insulating resin base material, can exhibit excellent bend-resistance characteristics without increasing a final reduction ratio, which, being not prone to develop rolling marks, can maintain a low surface coarseness and can therefore be preferably used in a flexible printed wiring board having excellent high-speed transmission characteristics, which is not prone to softening at room temperature, and which provides excellent operation efficiency and foil passing property when being processed into a flexible printed wiring board after having been stored. [Solution] Provided is a hard rolled-copper foil in which a crystal orientation density in a copper orientation is not less than 10, and a crystal orientation density in a brass orientation is not less than 20.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an evaluation method of a laminate molding powder, for evaluating a laminate molding powder on the basis of stable determination criteria. In this laminate molding powder evaluation method, the fluidity with which a uniform powder layer can be formed in laminate molding is evaluated using the adhesive force of the powder calculated from the fracture envelope obtained by shear testing. Further, the shear testing is performed with a powder rheometer, and the adhesive force is calculated from the relation between vertical stress and shear stress in the powder rheometer. If the adhesive force is less than or equal to 0.450 kPa, then the powder is evaluated as being capable of forming a uniform powder layer in laminate molding. Furthermore, if the 50% particle diameter of the powder, measured with a laser diffraction method, is 3-250 µm and/or the apparent density of the powder is greater than or equal to 3.5 g/cm3, then the powder is evaluated as capable of forming a uniform powder layer in laminate molding.

Abstract

In the present invention, a heating resistor (4) of a heater device has a sea-island structure in which a discontinuous resin phase (20) is mixed into a continuous metal phase (10). The metal phase (10) comprises at least an Sn-only phase (11) and an Sn alloy phase (13). The resin phase (20) has a glass transition point at or below the melting point of Sn, and the volume expansion rate of the resin phase (20) when the temperature is the melting point of Sn or higher is greater than that of the metal phase (10). Therefore, when the temperature of the heating resistor (4) itself increases and reaches a temperature close to 232°C, which is the melting point of Sn, then the Sn-only phase (11) melts due to the volume expansion of the resin phase (20). Due to this configuration, it is possible to provide a heater device having a function whereby the heating resistor is self-melting at a relatively low temperature.

Abstract

For the purpose of producing a large quantity of metal nanoparticles capable of being dispersed stably in a solvent without requiring the addition of any aggregation-inhibiting substance such as a surfactant and at low cost, the metal nanoparticles is produced through the steps mentioned below. A powder of a metal compound is suspended in a solvent. Subsequently, the suspension is heated at a predetermined temperature while passing through an atmosphere of an inert gas, a hydrogen gas or other non-oxidative gas. Specifically, for example, a silver oxide miropowder is used as a raw material powder, and a special-grade γ-butyrolactone reagent is used as the solvent. The solvent in a volume of 5 mL is placed in a 10-mL glass vessel, the raw material powder in an amount of about 40 mg is introduced into the glass vessel, and the resulting mixture is heated at about 135˚C for 15 minutes on a hot plate under deaeration conditions in which the bubbling with a nitrogen gas is carried out at a rate of about 20 mL per minute while agitating the mixture by means of a magnetic stirrer.
