  • Patent number: 9538646
    Abstract: To provide a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film capable of suppressing change in relative dielectric constant before and after heating, and a laminated and a circuit board using the same. In this film, a change ratio of a dielectric constant (?r2) of the film after heating to a dielectric constant (?r1) of the film before the heating satisfies the following formula (I) where the film is heated for 1 hour at a temperature in a range from a temperature being 30° C. lower than a melting point of the film to a temperature being 10° C. higher than the melting point, |?r2??r1|/?r1×100?5??(I) where ?r1 denotes the relative dielectric constant before the heating, ?r2 denotes the relative dielectric constant after the heating. These relative dielectric constants are measured at the same frequency in a range of 1 to 100 GHz.

  • Publication number: 20150017413
    Abstract: A thermoplastic liquid polymer film and a method of producing the same are provided. The method includes preparing a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer film that has dielectric constants of not larger than 3.25 both in an MD direction and in a TD direction; and performing drawing of the film while heating the film at a temperature in a range from a temperature (Td-60° C.) that is 60° C. lower than a heat deformation temperature (Td) of the film to a temperature (Td-5° C.) that is 5° C. lower than Td. The temperature of the heating during the drawing of the film may be in a range from a temperature (Td-40° C.) that is 40° C. lower than a heat deformation temperature (Td) of the film subjected to the drawing to a temperature (Td-10° C.) that is 10° C. lower than Td.

  • Patent number: 7601778
    Abstract: The aqueous dispersion of the present invention is produced by incorporating a block copolymer (II) into an aqueous dispersion (I) of a block copolymer (I) in an aqueous solution containing a basic compound. The block copolymer (I) is composed of a polymer block (A) mainly constituted by a constitutional unit derived from an olefin monomer and a polymer block (B) constituted by a constitutional unit derived from a vinyl monomer (b1) having a carboxyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group or a sulfonic group and a constitutional unit derived from another vinyl monomer (b2) copolymerizable with the vinyl monomer (b1). The content of the basic component is 0.05 equiv or more of the carboxyl group, carboxylic anhydride group or sulfonic group, each contained in the unit derived from the vinyl monomer (b1).
