  • Patent number: 8889250
    Abstract: A laminate of the present invention comprises a plating-target material including a layer-A, that is subjected to electroless copper plating and has a surface roughness such that an arithmetic mean roughness Ra measured at a cutoff value of 0.002 mm is less than 0.5 ?m. The 90° anti-peeling adhesive force of the layer-A is 1.0 N/25 mm or less. Furthermore, the layer-A includes a polyimide resin having a siloxane structure formed by polymerizing a diamine component having a structure represented by Formula (6) in a content of 5 to 95 mol % based on the entire diamine component. A sheet containing the layer-A has an elongation modulus of 1.8 GPa or less. The plating-target material of the present invention has a high adhesiveness to an electroless plating film formed on its surface, even if the surface is not so rough, and it is possible to favorably form electroless plating on the entire surface.

  • Patent number: 7662429
    Abstract: A laminate comprising a polyimide and a conductor layer, which is obtained by forming at least one conductor layer directly on the surface of a thermoplastic polyimide, is thermally fused by pressurizing and heating to thereby enhance the adhesion strength between the thermoplastic polyimide and the conductor layer. Thus, a laminate having an excellent adhesion strength between a conductor layer and a polyimide film can be obtained without performing any surface roughening treatment or using any adhesive metal layer.

  • Patent number: 7247367
    Abstract: The polyimide film of the present invention is produced in the following manner: polyamic acid made of a combination of a specific acid anhydride constituent and a specific diamine constituent are heated under a low-pressure circumstance for heat imidation, and the obtained imide is dissolved again in a solvent to be polyimide solution, then the polyimide solution is formed to be a film. In this manner, it is possible to provide a polyimide film essentially transparent and colorless, and has sufficient toughness to prevent occurrences of a crack or a break when the film is folded and creased by hand.
