Abstract: To provide a composition whereby it is possible to obtain a metal-clad laminate having low relative permittivity and dissipation factor and having adhesion of the composition layer to the metal layer improved, as well as the metal-clad laminate comprising a composition layer made of the composition, and a method for its production. A composition comprising a fluorinated polymer A1 containing units based on a fluoroolefin and units based on a monomer having an adhesive functional group, and an inorganic filler having a specific surface area of less than 5.5 m2/g, wherein the content of the inorganic filler in the solid content of the composition is at least 55 vol % to the entire volume of the solid content of the composition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing selected properties of a ferromagnetic material by magnetically inducing acoustic emissions in the material. The acoustic emission response is measured at a plurality of values of a selected response parameter, the response parameter being characterized by an acoustic emission response which, for each of its selected values, varies in mutual nonlinearity with the acoustic emission responses for the other selected values. The measured acoustic emission responses are compared to each other and to standard responses, thereby providing a more reliable measurement of the selected property than is attainable by analyzing at only one value of the response parameter. Comparing the ratio between acoustic emission responses at different values of the selected response parameter, with standard response ratios for the same response parameter values, further enhances reliability of the measurement.
