Patent number: 7642325Abstract: A non-sticky water-based coating material in the form of a film applied to the face of a circuit board that is loaded with electronic parts; which comes into contact with the outside environment. The coating material can be formed into the film at room temperature without using a coalescence, does not contain a solvent and forms a membrane having flexibility, low Young's modulus, favorable adhesive properties, moisture resistance and insulating properties. Specifically, the non-sticky water-based conformal coating material includes a resin wherein a flexible acrylic resin having glass transition temperature of at most 0° C. is the main chain and a vinyl polymer having a glass transition temperature of at least 20° C. is grafted to the flexible acrylic resin; the content of the vinyl polymer being 10 to 70% by weight based on the flexible acrylic resin.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2006Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Tohpe CorporationInventors: Masashi Hashimoto, Hideo Maeda

Patent number: 7538157Abstract: The present invention provides a series of baroplastic materials, and systems and methods of making and using such baroplastic materials. In one aspect of the invention, polymeric particles are provided that can be used to produce baroplastic materials under certain pressures and/or below certain temperatures. In one set of embodiments, the polymeric particles include an inner “core” region and an outer “shell” region. In some cases, more than one “shell” region may be present. In another arrangement the particles can include materials, or domains, in nanoscale proximity with each other. Non-particulate materials can also be processed in accordance with the invention. In another aspect of the invention, the invention provides for polymeric particles that can be processed and/or recycled multiple times, without causing significant degradation or alteration in the physical and/or chemical properties of the polymer.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2005Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Anne M.
