Abstract:
The task of the present invention is to offer a conductive paste that can be molded into a conductive coating or film that can maintain flexibility and ductility even while possessing a thickness of 50 μm˜125 μm. The conductive paste of the present invention includes a conductive particulate, a metal capture agent and a polyimide precursor solution. The metal capture agent can be selected as at least one from among either pyrimidinethiol compounds, triazinethiol compounds and imidazole compounds with a mercapto group. Moreover, the conductive particulate is preferably a core particle that is covered with a metal shell. In addition, a polyamic acid solution is preferred as the polyimide precursor solution.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for the cylindrical laminated body includes superimposing application step, a solvent removal step and an imidization step. In the superimposing application step, a coating material containing fluororesin particles and a polyimide precursor solution are applied in a superimposing manner on a core body. In the solvent removal step, the solvent is removed from the coating material and the polyimide precursor solution. In the imidization step, the polyimide precursor is imidized along with the formation of the coating material into a covering film.
