The invention relates to a method for applying an electrical microstructure on or in an object of any type, wherein the electrical microstructure is first applied to a flexible film and the film is fastened, with the electrical microstructure applied thereto in front, to a fastening surface of the object by adhesive bonding and/or vulcanization attachment. The invention further relates to an elastomer structure, to a fiber composite component, and to a motor-vehicle tire, each having at least one electrical microstructure fastened thereto by adhesive bonding and/or vulcanization attachment.

A method for manufacturing an integrated multilayer structure includes obtaining a substrate film having first and second sides, providing at least on the first side one or more first functional features, arranging at least one layer upon at least the first side; removing, at least a portion of the substrate film so that space is released in the structure wherein a detachment-enhancing feature provided to the substrate film is configured to facilitate the removal of the at least a portion of the substrate film such that the adjacent remaining film material, if any, the arranged layer and the one or more first functional features are preserved and preferably remain substantially intact; and providing at least one second functional feature into the space released for use so that the at least one second functional feature operatively connects with at least one of the one or more first functional features.

A method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board is disclosed, the method being capable of separating a substrate without large local warpage of the multilayer wiring layer and thereby improving the reliability of connection in the multilayer wiring layer. This method includes providing a laminated sheet having, in sequence, a substrate, a first release layer and a metal layer; forming a first wiring layer on the metal layer; alternately stacking insulating layers and wiring layers on the laminated sheet on which the first wiring layer is formed to give a laminate provided with a multilayer wiring layer; stacking a reinforcing sheet on the laminate provided with the multilayer wiring layer while interposing a second release layer; separating the substrate from the metal layer; and separating the reinforcing sheet from the laminate provided with the multilayer wiring layer to give the multilayer wiring board.

A thermally expandable material includes microcapsules and a binder having a conducting property, each microcapsule including a shell having an insulating property, and a thermally expandable component contained in the shell and having a property of expanding by heating, the shell deforming due to expansion of the thermally expandable component to come in contact with another capsule and have an insulating state with the other capsule.

There is provided a computer readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer, and the program causes the computer to execute functions including: forming a first image in accordance with an electronic circuit diagram, in which a resistance value of a wiring portion is defined, to form the wiring portion by printing with a conductive ink; and correcting the first image in accordance with a second image, which is formed with a photothermal conversion material, when the first image is formed at least partially overlapping the second image, wherein the second image is an image for expanding a thermally expandable layer that thermally expands with heat and, when the image is irradiated with light, expanding the thermally expandable layer by converting the light into heat with the photothermal conversion material.

A microcapsule includes a shell including a conducting component; and a thermally expandable component contained in the shell and having a property of expanding by heating, the shell deforming due to expansion of the thermally expandable component to come in contact with another capsule and have a conducting state with the other capsule.
