  • Publication number: 20090029094
    Abstract: Disclosed is a structure which can maintain a capability of conducting or absorbing electromagnetic waves even when an external pressure is applied thereon. The structure (1) includes a fibrous protrusion (1b) having the capability of conducting or absorbing electromagnetic waves partially arranged on a substrate (1a) so that at least a part of a fiber of the fibrous protrusion is positioned outward from a surface of the substrate (1a). The structure further includes a fiber protector (1c) arranged at least partially of a portion in a surface (1a1) of the substrate (1a) where no fibrous protrusion (1b) is arranged, in which the fiber protector is capable of suppressing or preventing the fibrous protrusion (1b) from flattening.

  • Publication number: 20080283290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an article to which a characteristic of shielding electromagnetic waves is imparted, which comprises at least a sheet-like electromagnetic shielding structure, the sheet-like electromagnetic shielding structure comprising a thin layer-like substrate; and a fiber convex structure section having a characteristic of conducting or absorbing electromagnetic waves, in which the said fiber convex structure section is formed at least partially on the thin layer-like substrate in such a form that at least a part of a fiber thereof is positioned outward from the surface of the thin layer-like substrate. As the article including the sheet-like electromagnetic shielding structure, an electronic device, an electronic circuit board, garment, an architectural structure, a construction material, or a transport equipped with an engine is suitable.

  • Patent number: 7270877
    Abstract: A protective tape used for optical member comprising a plastic film base, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one side of the plastic film base and a treated layer formed on an opposite side of the plastic film base, wherein the treated layer has a structure in which a copolymer (A) including (a) an alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group with carbon numbers of 8 to 20; (b) (meth)acrylonitrile; and (c) a monomer having functional groups copolymerizable with the component (a) and the component (b), as copolymerization components, is cross-linked by a cross-linking agent. The protective tape used for optical member is enabled to direct print with an ink on the treated layer and have a low adhesive property with the pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to an optical film and have a solvent resistance.
