  • Publication number: 20250132354
    Abstract: The present invention provides a gas diffusion electrode which is capable of restraining the progression of carbon corrosion at an anode gas diffusion electrode of a fuel cell even in a reverse potential state that is caused by deficiency of a fuel supplied to the anode gas diffusion electrode, and which is therefore free from a decrease in the power generation performance of the cell.

  • Publication number: 20130245160
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adhesive composition, which has high thermal conductivity and excellent adhesion, and wherein dispersibility of a thermally conductive filler is controlled. The adhesive composition is configured to contain (A) a soluble polyimide, (B) an epoxy resin and (C) a thermally conductive filler. The adhesive composition is characterized in that the soluble polyimide (A) contains a structure represented by general formula (1) as a component derived from a diamine and the amount of the thermally conductive filler (C) contained in the adhesive composition is not less than 60% by volume. (In general formula (1), X represents an integer of 1-10 (inclusive) and n represents an integer of 1-20 (inclusive).

  • Publication number: 20120183775
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process which comprises bringing an acidic organic substance or phosphoric acid into contact with a metal to form, on the surface of the metal, a layer that contains either an organic acid salt formed from both the acidic organic substance and the metal or a phosphoric acid salt formed from both the phosphoric acid and the metal. In the process, the layer can be selectively formed only on the surface of the metal. When the process is applied to the production of core-shell particles, neither agglomeration of the particles nor viscosity increase of the fluid occurs, while when the process is applied to the production of a covered metal-wiring circuit board, the layer can be selectively formed only in the metal area to be covered.

  • Patent number: 7540079
    Abstract: A circuit board-use member has a reinforcing plate, a removable organic layer, a flexible film having a circuit pattern, and a peeling-assist layer laminated in that order; a method forms a circuit board by forming a circuit pattern on a flexible film which is adhered to a reinforcing plate with a removable organic layer interposed therebetween, and peeling the film from the plate at an angle ranging from more than 0° to 80°; and an apparatus for forming a circuit board has one of a separation means for separating the flexible film from the reinforcing plate while the film contacts a curved support body; a curved separation means for separating the reinforcing plate from a support body for the flexible film while the plate is curved; or a moving means for relatively moving holding means and peeling means having a wedge-shaped member for peeling the flexible film.
