  • Publication number: 20240175424
    Abstract: A wind power generation system including a steel tower and a wind power generator is provided. The wind power generation system may include: a plurality of foundations; a steel tower; a wind power generator; and a support structure supporting the wind power generator. The steel tower may include a plurality of main column members extending upward from base ends fixed to the foundations. At least a portion of the support structure is fixed to at least one of the plurality of foundations without intervention of the plurality of main column members.

  • Publication number: 20160362791
    Abstract: A method includes:generating a peroxide radical on a dielectric substrate surface by treating the dielectric substrate surface with atmospheric pressure plasma using a rare gas; fixing a functional group forming a coordinate bond with a silver ion, by reacting a grafting agent; and applying a silver-containing composition to the substrate surface, followed by heating and curing the silver-containing composition, to thereby form a silver thin film layer, the silver-containing composition containing a silver compound (A) represented by Formula (1) and an amine compound (B) represented by Formula (2), the silver compound (A) being contained in an amount of 10 to 50% by mass, the amine compound (B) being contained in an amount of 50 to 90% by mass, relative to a total amount of 100% by mass of the silver compound (A) and the amine compound (B).

  • Patent number: 9496069
    Abstract: Provided are silver nanoparticles having excellent dispersion stability and capable of forming on a substrate a silver element, such as a silver film or line, having excellent electrical conductivity and adhesivity through heating. A method for producing the silver nanoparticles, its dispersion liquid, and a substrate having a silver element formed thereon using the dispersion liquid are disclosed. The silver nanoparticles contain silver compound (A) of formula (1): amine compound (B) having a primary amino group; and polymer (C) obtained by polymerization of a monomer composition containing diol (meth)acrylate compound (c1) having a urethane bond of formula (2): (R1: hydrogen atom or methyl group; R2: —(CH2)n-; n: 1 to 4), and at least one monomer (c2) selected from (meth)acrylate monomers, acrylamide monomers, vinyl monomers, vinyl ether monomers, or monomers having an epoxy group.
