  • Publication number: 20260226586
    Abstract: Provided is a method that produces a composite material having excellent thermal conductivity without using, or only using a sufficiently reduced amount of, hydrides that may cause blowholes. This method includes heating contents at least including at least one type of inorganic particles composed of a material selected from the group consisting of diamond, boron nitride, graphite, SiC, AlN, Si3N4, B4C, MgB2, Mg3N2, MgCl2, CaCl2, Mg2Si, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, TiC, WC, and TaC; metal particles; and metal oxide particles having oxygen defects to a temperature higher than the melting point of the metal particles in a mold filled with the contents, to melt the metal particles; allowing oxygen released from a molten product of the metal particles to be absorbed by the metal oxide particles; and cooling the mold and then collecting a composite material containing the inorganic particles and a matrix metal which binds the inorganic particles.

  • Patent number: 8349603
    Abstract: A cantilever for measuring intra-cellular and inter-cellular microspaces of the present invention includes a support portion, a lever portion provided to the support portion so as to protrude therefrom, and a probe portion provided near a free end of the lever portion. The probe portion includes a conductive probe made of a carbon-based material, and an insulating film to coat a periphery of the conductive probe.

  • Patent number: 8048511
    Abstract: This invention provides a coating agent, which can form a coating film over a wide area in a simple manner, is chemically and physically stable, and can form an ultrathin film, a coating film, a method for formation of coating film, and various products coated with the coating film. The coating agent contains thin sheet titanium oxide fine particles. The coating agent may comprise a solution containing a titania nanosheet and a sol of silicon oxide or titanium oxide. The coating film is formed by coating and then drying and heating the coating and has a microstructure in which thin sheet titanium oxide fine particles are stacked with a high level of orientation.
