  • Patent number: 9786450
    Abstract: A membrane switch in which a first conductive part is formed on a first substrate, a second conductive part is formed on a second substrate, and the substrates are layered via a spacer such that the conductive parts face each other with a space therebetween, and an organic material showing piezoelectricity is filled, or disposed in the space such that an air gap is present, are useful for obtaining an output signal corresponding to an applied pressure.

  • Patent number: 7226976
    Abstract: Provided are a latent curing agent that gives an epoxy resin composition with improved storage stability and low-temperature curability; and a curable epoxy resin composition prepared by mixing the said curing agent and an epoxy compound. The epoxy resin composition has improved storage stability, and cures at lower temperatures for a shorter period of time than conventional ones. The latent curing agent for epoxy resin comprises two components, (A) a radically polymerized polymer of a monomer having at least a polymerizable double bond, which has at least a tertiary amino group in the molecule, and (B) a polymer having at least a hydroxyl group in the molecule, and forms a solid solution that is solid at 25° C.
