  • Patent number: 9190184
    Abstract: A composite core for use in electrical cables, such as high voltage transmission cables is provided. The composite core contains at least one rod that includes a continuous fiber component surrounded by a capping layer. The continuous fiber component is formed from a plurality of unidirectionally aligned fiber rovings embedded within a thermoplastic polymer matrix. The present inventors have discovered that the degree to which the rovings are impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer matrix can be significantly improved through selective control over the impregnation process, and also through control over the degree of compression imparted to the rovings during formation and shaping of the rod, as well as the calibration of the final rod geometry. Such a well impregnated rod has a very small void fraction, which leads to excellent strength properties. Notably, the desired strength properties may be achieved without the need for different fiber types in the rod.

The contact area of the wire and the embossable adhesive layer is increased through embedding the conductive grid of the wire, which is grid-shaped structure, in the grooves such that the wires are tightly combined to the embossable adhesive layer and not easy to fall off or be scratched. The present invention further provides a touch screen containing the gold finger.
