Abstract:
A thin-film multi-layer micro-wire structure includes a substrate and a layer located on the substrate or forming a part of the substrate. One or more micro-channels are located in the layer. Each micro-channel has a width less than or equal to 20 microns. A cured electrically conductive micro-wire is located only within each micro-channel. The micro-wire has a thickness less than or equal to 20 microns, including silver nano-particles, and having a percent ratio of silver that is greater than or equal to 40% by weight. An electrolessly plated layer is located at least partially within each micro-channel between the micro-wire and the layer surface and in electrical contact with the micro-wire. The plated layer has a thickness less than a thickness of the micro-wire so that the micro-wire and plated layer form the thin-film multi-layer micro-wire.

Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a carbon nanotube thin film in which carbon nanotubes exist in a uniformly dispersed state, the thickness and light transmittance of the film can be adjusted easily and are uniform, and high electrical conductivity or high semiconductor properties can be achieved. Carbon nanotubes are mixed with an electrically-non-conductive matrix capable of dispersing the carbon nanotubes satisfactorily therein, such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, to prepare a dense ink that is dispersed in a solvent, the ink is prepared into a film having a uniform thickness employing a doctor blade method or a screen printing method, and subsequently the electrically-non-conductive matrix is removed with a solvent or by a photonic curing method or an oxygen plasma treatment. In this manner, a thin film in which the electrical conductivity or semiconductor properties inherent in carbon nanotubes are recovered can be produced.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a resistive microcracked pressure sensor having a metal stack with a metallic conductor encapsulated within an elastomer substrate and related method of manufacture are disclosed. During manufacture, the metallic conductor forms a plurality of microcracks that increase the overall resistance of the metallic conductor. The microcracks in the metallic conductor allow greater magnitudes of normal and shear forces to be applied to the pressure sensor without fracturing metallic conductor.
Abstract:
A laminate that includes a metal layer that is not easily separated from a substrate, a method for producing the laminate, and a method for forming a fine conductive pattern that exhibits high conductivity, are disclosed. The peel strength of a metal layer included in a laminate that includes a polymer layer provided between a substrate and the metal layer is improved by implementing a structure in which the metal that forms the metal layer is chemically bonded to COO that extends from the polymer main chain that forms the polymer layer at the interface between the metal layer and the polymer layer. A fine conductive pattern that exhibits high conductivity can be formed by applying UV light to a pattern area of an insulating film formed on a substrate, and applying an ink prepared by dispersing metal nanoparticles in a solvent to the substrate.
