  • Patent number: 11745488
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a method for the production of a thin plate-like laminate having a film-like resin layer in which a concave/convex shape can stably be formed with high accuracy on the film-like resin layer laminated on a thin plate-like substrate. [Achieving Means] There are provided a step of creating a mold retention structure 100 in which molds 110, which have been heated to a thermal deformation temperature of a film-like resin composition 84, are arranged on both surface sides of a workpiece 85, and a step of introducing the mold retention structure in which the heated molds are arranged between two compression rollers 52, 54 and compressing outer surfaces of the molds by rotating the compression rollers to integrally thermocompression-bond the film-like resin composition and a substrate 81 to form a thin plate-like laminate 80 having a film-like resin layer 82.

  • Patent number: 9006338
    Abstract: An aqueous resin composition with gas barrier properties contains (i) polyurethane resin having aurethane group and a urea group in a total concentration of 25 to 60% by weight and having a acid value of 5 to 100 mgKOH/g, (ii) a swelling inorganic layered compound (e.g., a water-swelling mica, and a montmorillonite), and (iii) a polyamine compound having an amine value of 100 to 1900 mgKOH/g. The polyurethane resin (i) is obtained by a reaction of (A) an aromatic, araliphatic or alicyclic polyisocyanate, (B) a polyhydroxyalkanecarboxylic acid, and at least one component selected from (C) a C2-8alkylene glycol and (D) a chain-extension agent (e.g., diamine, hydrazine and a hydrazine derivative), and neutralized with a neutralizing agent. The proportion of the acid group of the polyurethane resin (i) relative to the basic nitrogen atom of the polyamine compound (iii) is 10/1 to 1/5 as the equivalent ratio.
