  • Patent number: 6917512
    Abstract: Different from conventional so-called mix-type film capacitors involving several disadvantages, in which the dielectric layers consist of a combination of a dielectric plastic resin film and an insulating paper sheet, the invention provides an all-film oil-impregnated capacitor in which the dielectric layers consist only of a plastic resin film such as a biaxially oriented polypropylene resin film (OPP film) suitable for use in microwave ovens. The all-film capacitor of the invention can be obtained and has satisfactory properties only when prepared by using specified materials including the OPP film, aluminum foil and capacitor oil and under specified conditions relative to the dielectric tangent values and dielectric capacity values before and after impregnation with a capacitor oil as well as the conditions in the step of oil impregnation.

  • Publication number: 20040105983
    Abstract: A conductive layer of a conductive member for an image-forming apparatus is composed of a conductive polymer composition containing an ionic-conductive addition salt. The conductive polymer composition has a continuous phase and one or more uncontinuous phases including at least one first uncontinuous phase. The continuous phase and the uncontinuous phase form a sea-island structure. A salt capable of dissociating into cations and anions is unevenly distributed to the first uncontinuous phase. A polymer composing the first uncontinuous phase has a higher degree of affinity for the salt capable of dissociating into cations and anions than a polymer composing the continuous phase to prevent the salt (or the cations, the anions) from shifting out of the first uncontinuous phase or out of the polymer composition. The conductive polymer composition can contain melamine cyanurate so that it is flame-retardant.
