Abstract: A process for producing a printed wiring board, comprising the steps of forming a photosensitive resist layer on a copper layer provided on an insulating substrate, patterning the photosensitive resist layer, and etching the copper layer made bare from the photosensitive resist layer to form a copper wiring layer, wherein the surface of the copper layer is subjected to pretreatment comprising the steps of black-oxide treating the surface by the use of an alkaline oxidizing solution and subsequently finely surface-roughening the black-oxide treated surface by the use of an acidic treating solution comprised of phosphoric acid or an organic acid, followed by drying in the presence of oxygen, and thereafter the photosensitive resist layer is formed thereon. Such pretreatment enables formation of fine and uniform roughness on the copper layer surface to bring about an improvement in its adhesion to the resist layer, so that ethcing solutions can be prevented from penetrating the interface between these layers.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-layered wiring board, which is characterized in that the oxidation of a wiring layer for roughening the surface of the layer is performed by two steps (a) oxidizing a wiring layer of inner circuit plate with a first alkaline oxidizing solution thereby forming a first oxidized film comprising CuO and Cu.sub.2 O, then etching said first oxidized film to obtain a thinned first oxidized film, and (b) oxidizing said thinned first oxidized film with a second alkaline oxidizing solution thereby forming a second oxidized film enriched with Cu.sub.2 O.

Abstract: A process for the production of a laminate which comprises laminating a boehmite- or pseudoboehmite-treated aluminum foil with an oxidation-treated polyolefin film with the treated surface of the foil facing to the treated surface of the film under heat and pressure without the use of binders for lamination. In one embodiment, the laminate so produced may be laminated with the same laminate with the treated surface of the foil of the former facing to the treated surface of the film of the latter, under heat and pressure, or it may be laminated on the aluminum foil side with a resin film, such as a polyester or polyamide film, with the use of a binder between the aluminum foil and the resin film.

Abstract: A thermogenic sheet combined poultice comprising a thermogenic composition layer capable of generating heat in the presence of air or oxygen and a heat-stable wet pack composition layer; and a process for the production of the thermogenic sheet combined poultice.

Abstract: A thermally diffusible composite comprising a thermally diffusible medicine such as allethrin, a thermogenic composition including an alkali metal sulphide or the like, carbonaceous material or the like and, if desired, a filler such as cellulose. In one embodiment, this invention relates to such a thermally diffusible composite the thermogenic composition or the whole of which is enclosed in an oxygen-impermeable container.

Abstract: A thermogenic composition comprising (1) at least one compound such as an alkali metal sulphide, polysulphide, hydrosulphide, hydrate thereof or mixture thereof, (2) at least one catalytically functional compound such as carbonaceous material or iron carbide and, if desired, (3) at least one filler such as natural or synthetic staple fibers or aluminum oxide.
