  • Patent number: 9125315
    Abstract: To provide a method for producing a conductive film with excellent transparency and conductivity by a simple method suitable for large-area production. A method for producing a conductive film comprising a step of placing a template (B), having openings in a mesh structure running from the side that is to contact a substrate (A) through to the back side, on the surface of the substrate (A), and spreading a dispersion (D) of conductive particles (P) on the surface of the substrate (A) on which the template (B) has been placed, and drying it, thereby forming a mesh-like structure (C) of the conductive particles (P) near the points of contact between the substrate (A) and the template (B), and then removing the template (B) from the substrate (A) to form a mesh-like structure (C) of the conductive particles (P) on the surface of the substrate (A).

  • Publication number: 20140179864
    Abstract: Provided are: a powdered material for slush molding; and a manufacturing process therefor. The powdered material is less odorous, exhibits excellent powder fluidity, and does not suffer from troubles resulting from the sliding-down or agglomeration of a pigment even when the resin particles have been pigmented on the surfaces thereof. Thus, the powdered material ensures high productivity. The powdered material is a powdered polyurethane urea resin composition which comprises (D) a polyurethane urea resin that has a total content of bimolecular condensate of acetone, bimolecular condensate of methyl ethyl ketone, and bimolecular condensate of methyl isobutyl ketone of 1,000 ppm or less and (N) an additive, wherein the polyurethane urea resin (D) takes the form of thermoplastic polyurethane urea resin particles (P) that have a volume-mean particle diameter of 20 to 500 ?m and that have protrusions and recesses on the surfaces.
