  • Patent number: 11963454
    Abstract: To provide a piezoelectric body film that can suppress decrease in the piezoelectric constant d31, a method of producing a piezoelectric body film, and a piezoelectric body device. A piezoelectric body film comprising a fluororesin as a piezoelectric material, the fluororesin containing, as a main constituent unit, a repeating unit derived from vinylidene fluoride, a piezoelectric constant d31 of the piezoelectric body film being 20 pC/N or greater, and an extrapolated onset temperature at start of shrinkage determined by TMA measurement being not lower than 90° C. and not higher than 115° C. The difference between piezoelectric constants d31 measured before and after heating the piezoelectric body film at 100° C. for 24 hours relative to the piezoelectric constant d31 before the heating for 24 hours is 20% or less.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11136440
    Abstract: A vinylidene fluoride resin film is produced by using a film composition containing at least a vinylidene fluoride resin and organic particles. The vinylidene fluoride resin film includes a plurality of protrusions on at least one surface thereof. Among the plurality of protrusions, the number of protrusions greater than 0.10 ?m in height from a flat surface at which the protrusions are not present is from 40 to 400, per 0.10 mm2 of the vinylidene fluoride resin film.

  • Patent number: 10988586
    Abstract: Provided is a vinylidene fluoride resin film that is produced using a film composition including at least a vinylidene fluoride resin and inorganic particles; and that includes a plurality of protrusions on at least one surface thereof. Among the plurality of protrusions, the number of protrusions greater than 0.10 ?m in height from a flat surface at which the protrusions are not present is from 7.0 to 50 per 0.10 mm2 of the vinylidene fluoride resin film.

  • Patent number: 7900961
    Abstract: An airbag has a front panel positioned on an occupant side when inflated, and a rear panel of substantially the same shape as the front panel positioned on an opposite side to the occupant. Furthermore, an inflation restricting section, which restricts the inflated shape of the airbag, is formed by drawing together and fixing a portion of the front panel. When the airbag is inflated, the occupant side of the airbag is pulled inwards, thereby forming a cavity on the occupant side.
