Abstract:
A method for producing an elastomeric component, preferably an elastomeric sealing component, including an elastomer body and a printed structure, preferably a printed electronic structure or circuit, on a surface of the elastomer body. The method includes: a. providing a planar foil of thermoplastic material having a printable surface; b. printing a structure onto the printable surface to obtain the printed structure; c. providing an elastomer substrate for forming the elastomer body; d. placing the planar foil with the printed structure onto the elastomer substrate; and e. laminating the combined planar foil and elastomer substrate by applying heat and pressure. The elastomeric component is obtained in that the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body before step d); the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body during lamination; or the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body after lamination.
Abstract:
A process for forming a graphene circuit pattern on an object is described. A graphene layer is grown on a metal foil. A bonding layer is formed on a protective film and a surface of the bonding layer is roughened. The graphene layer is transferred onto the roughened surface of the bonding layer. The protective film is removed and the bonding layer is laminated to a first core dielectric substrate. The metal foil is etched away. Thereafter the graphene layer is etched using oxygen plasma etching to form graphene circuits on the first core dielectric substrate. The first core dielectric substrate having graphene circuits thereon is bonded together with a second core dielectric substrate wherein the graphene circuits are on a side facing the second core dielectric substrate wherein an air gap is left therebetween.

Abstract:
In the present invention, an electrical connector is formed with contacts on one side of a printed circuit board that are electrically coupled through the board in a known manner. A backing plate formed of a dielectric material is applied to the board over the contacts. The backing plate includes openings extending through the backing plate that are in alignment with the contacts in order to allow electrical connections to be made with the contacts, but while also isolating the contacts from the exterior surface of the backing layer. The backing layer is affixed to the board over the contacts by an adhesive resin layer having an aperture cut into the layer. The aperture cut into the layer surrounds the contacts on the board, and due to the low or no flow nature of the resin, does not flow onto the contacts to cover the contacts.

Abstract:
A PCB page blank includes a flexible substrate, a curable adhesive, a conductive layer, and a conductive layer support. The flexible substrate receives an opaque negative circuit pattern thereon. Portions of the curable adhesive not obscured by the circuit pattern may bond to portions of the conductive layer when exposed to light. The bonded portions of the conductive layer shear or tear from non-bonded portions of the conductive layer such that the bonded portions remain with the flexible substrate and the non-bonded portions remain with the conductive layer support when the flexible substrate and the conductive layer support are separated. The flexible substrate and the bonded portions of the conductive layer thus form a PCB prototype with the bonded portions of the conductive layer forming circuit traces of the circuit pattern.
