Abstract: A filter having a high transmittance is disclosed. The filter comprises a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and a periodic or random array of through-holes formed so as to pass through the first surface and the second surface. The through-hole has a size of subwavelength at a range of infrared and terahertz wave. Here, transmission resonance characteristic of incident light on the first surface is controlled by a shape of the through-hole.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electroless metal film-plating system. While polyimide film is continuously fed from a roll, a series of wetting processes, including a degreasing process, an etching process, a neutralizing process, a coupling process, a catalyst-adding process, an undercoating process, and a plating process are conducted, in order, so as to plate one or both surfaces of the film with a conductive metal, followed by drying the conductive metal-plated film and taking up the plated film into a roll. A wetting process, in which the film passes through a liquid solution and is repetitively immersed in and drawn from a washing solution, is applied to all process parts, several parts notwithstanding, to produce a bilayer structure FCCL exhibiting superior physical properties such as peel strength. Also, after immersion in liquid in each process, the liquid is removed using wringing rollers so as to coat the material of interest at a uniform thickness.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods of forming particles and, in certain aspects, to systems and methods of forming particles that are substantially monodisperse. Microfluidic systems and techniques for forming such particles are provided, for instance, particles may be formed using gellation, solidification, and/or chemical reactions such as cross-linking, polymerization, and/or interfacial polymerization reactions. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a plurality of particles having an average dimension of less than about 500 micrometers and a distribution of dimensions such that no more than about 5% of the particles have a dimension greater than about 10% of the average dimension, which can be made via microfluidic systems. In one set of embodiments, at least some of the particles may comprise a metal, and in certain embodiments, at least some of the particles may comprise a magnetizable material.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for a conductive metal plated polyimide substrate. The process for a conductive metal plated polyimide substrate comprises a) etching surface of the polyimide film with KOH, mixed solution of ethylene glycol and KOH, or mixed solution of CrO3 and H2SO4, b) coupling the etched surface of the polyimide film with a coupling agent, c) absorbing a catalyst on the polyimide film, d) plating a first conductive metal on the polyimide film which the catalyst was absorbed without applying current, to form a first conductive metal thin film, and e) plating a second conductive metal on the first conductive metal thin film with applying current, to form a second conductive metal thin film.
