Abstract: A carrier for supporting workpieces to be polished is composed of an integrated mica laminated sheet. The mica laminated sheet is impregnated with a thermo-setting resin. The carrier has a low warp ratio and can be made thin with a sufficient mechanical strength and accuracy of thickness.
Abstract: An acoustic diaphragm composed essentially of a flat, cone-like or dome-like reconstituted mica paper of fine scaly mica flakes and an organic polymeric binder impregnated in the mica paper. The diaphragm has a density of 1.3 to 2.3 g/cm.sup.3 and a Young's modulus of 6 .times. 10.sup.10 to 3 .times. 10.sup.12 dyne/cm.sup.2.
