  • Patent number: 8314203
    Abstract: This polyimide film is superior in heat resistance, rigidity and high frequency properties, is free of inconveniences due to curling even when various functional layers are laminated by heating, and is preferable as a substrate film superior in thermal degradation stability for electronic parts. This polyimide film has a planar orientation coefficient of 0.79-0.89 as measured by an X-ray diffraction method, a difference in the surface planar orientation degree between one surface thereof and the other surface thereof of not more than 2 and a curling degree of not more than 5%, which is obtained by imidation of a polyimide precursor film having a particular imidation rate.

  • Publication number: 20090152095
    Abstract: The easy-to-tear stretched aliphatic polyester film of the present invention is characterized in that the edge tear strength in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction is not more than 22 N. The easy-to-tear stretched aliphatic polyester film of the present invention is produced by a method of irradiation of actinic rays on an aliphatic polyester film or a method of film-forming a film obtained by laminating aliphatic polyesters having different melting points in three layers of A/B/A under particular film-forming conditions.

  • Patent number: 7544414
    Abstract: An oriented syndiotactic polystyrene-based film composed of an oriented film made of a syndiotactic styrene polymer and an adhesiveness-improving layer formed from a specific water-dispersible resin on at least one surface of the oriented film, which is excellent in the tight adhesion between the oriented film and the adhesiveness-improving layer, the adhesion between the adhesiveness-improving layer and an ink layer or laminate layer applied thereon, economical efficiency, recyclability, and environmental compatibility in production. It is particularly preferable that the film be produced by applying the aqueous dispersion of the water-dispersible resin on unstretched or uniaxially stretched film to form the adhesiveness-improving layer, stretching the obtained laminate uni- or bi-axially at least one time, and then heat-treating the resulting laminate.

  • Publication number: 20050103029
    Abstract: A detector (29) detects that a refrigerant gas has leaked from a refrigeration cycle, or detects in advance that a refrigerant is to leak. The alarming device (27) gives users an alarming signal warning against the refrigerant leak. The alarming device (27) is caused to stop giving an alarming signal after users open doors of storage compartments including a refrigerator compartment (4), a vegetable storage compartment (5) and a freezer compartment (6). For example, after all the doors of the storage compartments are opened, giving the alarming signal is stopped. Otherwise, giving the alarming signal is stopped after the door of a storage compartment into which cold air flows by causing a damper (12) to open is opened.
