    Abstract: A thermoplastic composition that contains a unique combination of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, dielectric material, laser activatable additive, and a fibrous filler is provided. The nature of the components and/or their concentration are selectively controlled in the present invention to maintain a high dielectric constant, good mechanical properties (e.g., deflection under load), and good processibility (e.g., low viscosity), yet still be laser activatable. Thus, the thermoplastic composition can be readily shaped into a thin substrate and subsequently applied with one or more conductive elements using a laser direct structuring process (“LDS”).

  • Patent number: 8263698
    Abstract: A method of producing a carbon fiber composite material includes a first step and a second step. The first step includes oxidizing first carbon nanofibers produced by a vapor growth method to obtain second carbon nanofibers having an oxidized surface. The second step includes mixing the second carbon nanofibers into an elastomer, and uniformly dispersing the carbon nanofibers in the elastomer by applying a shear force to obtain the carbon fiber composite material. The second carbon nanofibers obtained by the first step have a surface oxygen concentration measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of 2.6 to 4.6 atm %.

  • Patent number: 8258225
    Abstract: Disclosed is a coating formed from a composition containing a film-forming resin and a plurality of particles dispersed in the resin. The average particle size of the particles is 0.1 to 50 microns, and the particles have a hardness sufficient to impart greater mar and/or scratch resistance to the coating as compared to a coating where no particles are present. Also, the difference between the refractive ranges from 1 to 1.5. A method for preparing a powder coating including the particles also is provided.

  • Publication number: 20120218342
    Abstract: Disclosed is an aqueous ink for inkjet that contains water, pigment, organic or inorganic acid (A) and ammonia or amines (B) or ammonium salts of organic or inorganic acids, a resin having anionic groups (C), and an amphoteric resin having both anionic and cationic groups (D). The aqueous ink for inkjet is characterized by fulfilling the relationship pKa(A)<pKa(C)<7 when pKa(A) is the pKa of the organic or inorganic acid (A) and pKa(C) is the pKa of said resin having anionic groups (C). By means of the aqueous ink for inkjet and the inkjet recording method, the occurrence of bleeding during high-speed printing can be reduced, and a high detail image quality can be obtained.
