The melt viscosity of the thermoplastic elastomer at 200° C. in a low shear region with a shear rate of 60 s?1 or more and 200 s?1 or less is 100 Pa·s or more and 800 Pa·s or less, and is four times or less the melt viscosity of the thermoplastic elastomer at the same temperature in a high shear region with a shear rate of 1000 s?1 or more and 1220 s?1 or less. An amount of DBP absorbed by the carbon black is 300 cm3/100 g or more.

Abstract: A capacitive coupling sensor (1) is equipped with a sensor unit (10) which has: a detection electrode layer (11) which generates capacitance between the detection electrode layer (11) and a detection target, a shield electrode layer (12), and an insulation layer (13) which is arranged between the detection electrode layer (11) and the shield electrode layer (12), wherein the insulation layer (13) has a cross-linked polymer obtained by cross-linking of a thermoplastic polymer. The capacitive coupling sensor (1) has high heat resistance, can be made thinner, and has an excellent tactile quality.

Abstract: A capacitive-coupling sensor includes: a detection electrode layer that generates capacitance between the detection electrode layer and an object to be detected; a shield electrode layer; and an insulating layer disposed between the detection electrode layer and the shield electrode layer. The insulating layer includes a thermoplastic elastomer, and the insulating layer has a thermal conductivity of 0.3 W/m·K or more and a volume resistivity of 1×1012 ?·cm or more. When the detection electrode layer and the shield electrode layer are made of conductive cloths, the conductive cloth for the detection electrode layer is placed on a front surface of the insulating layer and the conductive cloth for the shield electrode layer is placed on a back surface of the insulating layer forming a laminate. The laminate is pressed in a front-back direction under heating to fuse the insulating layer to the conductive cloths, producing the capacitive-coupling sensor.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescence element has a layered structure on a surface of a transparent substrate. The layered structure comprises an organic material layer including a light-emitting organic material layer, an opaque electrode layer, an insulating layer, a metal layer and a resin film in order. The organic electroluminescence element is improved in durability because moisture is prevented from permeating into a light-emitting element.

Abstract: To provide a glass molding die which is more excellent in durability than the conventional ones. A glass molding die 10 includes a base body 12, an Au layer 14 which is laminated on a surface of the base body 12, and an Rh layer 16 which is laminated on a surface of the Au layer 14. On a surface of the Rh layer 16, an Ir-containing layer may be further laminated. The Au layer 14 functions as a bonding layer, the Rh layer 16 functions as an anti diffusion layer, and the Ir-containing layer functions as a mold releasing layer. The Au layer 14, the Rh layer 16, and the Ir-containing layer are preferably formed by plating.
