Abstract:
A conductive paste capable of further reducing the electrical resistance of a conductive film or the like, a conductive film having an anisotropic conductivity, a plating method for forming a plated coating having a uniform crystal structure, and a method of producing a fine metal component having good characteristics. A conductive paste is such that metal powder in the form of many fine metal particles being linked in a chain form is blended. A conductive film is such that chain-form metal powder having paramagnetism is oriented in a constant direction by applying a magnetic field to a coating formed by the application of conductive paste. A plating method grows a plated coating by electroplating on a conductive film formed from a conductive paste. A method of producing a fine metal component which selectively grows a plated coating (4’) on a conductive film (1) exposed at fine pass-hole pattern portions in a mold (3) to produce a fine metal component.
Abstract:
Nanometer-size fine metal particles in a colloidal state have poor handleability and the choice of solvents usable therewith is limited. A granular metal powder is provided which is characterized by being obtained from a solution comprising water or an organic solvent, an organic compound capable of being adsorbed onto metal particle surfaces, and metal particles having an average particle diameter of 1 to 100 nm by removing most of the water or organic solvent. It is characterized also by having a bulk density of 1.0 to 5.0 g/mL. This granular metal powder can be handled in a dry state as metal particles and can be easily redispersed in solvents.
Abstract:
A capacitor has a positive electrode 10, a negative electrode 20, and a solid electrolyte layer arranged between the electrode layers 10 and 20. At least one 10 (20) of the electrode layers of this capacitor 100 has an Al porous body 11, and an electrode body 12 (13) held in this Al porous body 11 to polarize the electrolyte. The oxygen content in the surface of the Al porous body 11 is 3.1% by mass or less. The matter that the oxygen content in the surface of the Al porous body 11 is 3.1% by mass or less is equal to the matter that a high-resistance oxide film is hardly formed on the surface of the Al porous body 11. Thus, this Al porous body 11 makes it possible to make the current collector area of the electrode layer 10 (20) large so that the capacitor 100 can be improved in capacity.
