A separator for electrochemical elements includes beaten solvent-spun cellulose fibers and rayon fibers having a fiber diameter of 9.5 m or less. More preferably, the separator for electrochemical elements has a content of the rayon fibers relative to all fibers of 10 to 25% by mass, and can be applied to electrochemical elements such as electric double layer capacitors, hybrid capacitors, redox capacitors, and lithium secondary batteries. The separator can provide low internal short circuit failure rates and high surface strength.

A tape having a first face comprising a continuous surface of mica paper and a second face comprising a support layer, wherein the mica paper comprises 70 to 99 weight percent mica and 1 to 30 weight percent binder and the support layer comprises a film, a paper, a nonwoven fabric, or a woven fabric; wherein the initial elongation of the support layer is equal to or less than the initial elongation of the mica paper; and wherein the support layer is demountably attached to the mica paper such that when a delamination force of 10 N/10 mm or less is imposed on the support layer it can be separated from the mica paper.

A method is disclosed of applying a mica paper around an electrical conductor, the process including attaching the tape comprising the mica paper to the conductor at an attachment point on the conductor; winding the tape around the conductor surface until the tape has been wound to a point that is at least 25 percent of the conductor circumference from the attachment point and then initiating a continuous removal of the support layer from the tape, starting at the attachment point; the mica paper remaining in contact with the surface of the conductor; and continuing to wind the tape around the conductor while simultaneously removing the support layer at a removal point until a desired amount of conductor surface is completely covered with at least one layer of the mica paper, with the proviso that the removal point is maintained at least 25 percent of the conductor circumference behind the winding point until the desired amount of conductor surface is completely covered. A tape is also disclosed of mica paper and a support layer, wherein the mica paper; wherein the initial elongation of the support layer is equal to or less than the initial elongation of the mica paper; and wherein the support layer is demountably attached to the mica paper such that when a delamination force of 10 N/10 mm or less is imposed on the support layer it can be separated from the mica paper.

Electronic device comprising an at least partially electrically insulating carrier structure, which comprises a resin matrix and reinforcement structures in the resin matrix, wherein the reinforcement structures are provided at least partially with a thermal conductivity increasing coating, and an electrically conducting structure at and/or in the carrier structure, wherein at least in an interconnecting section between the carrier structure and the electrically conducting structure, the carrier structure is free from reinforcement structures provided with the coating, such that the electrically conducting structure and the coating are arranged non-contactingly relative to each other.

A substrate package includes a woven fabric having electrically non-conductive strands woven between electrically conductive strands including wire strands, co-axial strands, and/or an inductor pattern of strands. The package may be formed by an inexpensive and high throughput process that first weaves the non-conductive strands (e.g., glass) between the conductive strands to form a circuit board pattern of conductive strands in a woven fabric. Next, the woven fabric is impregnated with a resin material to form an impregnated fabric, which is then cured to form a cured fabric. The upper and lower surfaces of the cured fabric are subsequently planarized. Planarizing segments and exposes ends of the wire, co-axial, and inductor pattern strands. Since the conductive strands were formed integrally within the planarized woven fabric, the substrate has a high mechanical stability and provides conductor strand based electrical components built in situ in the substrate package.
