Patent number: 7807261Abstract: A transparent conductive laminate consisting of a transparent polymer substrate, an uneven cured resin layer formed on at least one side of the substrate and a transparent conductive layer formed on the cured resin layer directly or through another layer. The cured resin layer contains fine particles A having an average primary particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 ?m and super fine particles C having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less made of a metal oxide and/or a metal fluoride. The above transparent conductive laminate does not cause the deterioration of visibility by sparkling even when a transparent touch panel is mounted on a high-definition display and can prevent “Newton rings” which occurs between two transparent electrode substrates constituting the transparent touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Teijin LimitedInventors: Isao Shiroishi, Haruhiko Ito, Hitoshi Mikoshiba

Patent number: 7807263Abstract: A method for the production of a laminate is provided, comprising the steps of: 1) providing a stack of layers including a decorative layer, a core layer, and optionally an overlayer; 2) impregnating one or both of the decorative layer and overlayer with a resin formulation that includes nanoclay particles disposed within a thermoset resin, wherein the concentration of the nanoclay particles within the thermoset resin is great enough to form a physical barrier within the resin and low enough to avoid a hazy appearance; and 3) subjecting the stack of layers to sufficient heat and pressure to cause the layers to bond to one another. According to an aspect of the present invention, a laminate is provided producible by the above-described method.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Panolam Industries International, Inc.Inventors: David Karakus, Stephen Canary

Publication number: 20100233471Abstract: The anti-corrosion coating material contains corrosion inhibiting inorganic constituents, or a combination of inorganic and organic corrosion inhibiting constituents, suspended in a polymeric resin. The corrosion resistant composition includes a salt of inorganic constituents, and alkaline polyamine fatty acid salt (PFAS) as a corrosion inhibitor, suspended in a polymeric resin remainder. The coating material may be applied to metal parts but not limited to aircraft fasteners, such as aircraft fastener parts, including nuts and bolts, screws, rivets, and sleeved systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 5, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Inventors: Jeffrey Hayes, Johan Stephan
