In order to achieve the above object, a laminated body according to the invention includes a substrate and a coating formed on the surface of the substrate, in which the coating includes repeated unit structures each composed of a first layer whose main component is Ni and a second layer whose main component is a metal whose electrode potential is baser than that of Ni.

Provided is a joint manufacturing method including: a step A of preparing a laminate in which two objects to be joined are temporarily adhered with a heat-joining sheet including a pre-sintering layer interposed between the two objects to be joined; a step B of increasing a temperature of the laminate from a temperature equal to or lower than a first temperature defined below to a second temperature; and a step C of holding the temperature of the laminate in a predetermined range after the step B, in which the laminate is pressurized during at least a part of the step B and at least a part of the step C. The first temperature is a temperature at which an organic component contained in the pre-sintering layer is decreased by 10% by weight when the pre-sintering layer is subjected to thermogravimetric measurement.

A method of manufacturing a metal-plated carbon material, includes: a metal complex fixation step of immersing a carbon material in a supercritical fluid or subcritical fluid containing an organometallic complex of a first metal; and a first energization deposition step of energizing the metal-complex-fixed carbon material in an electroless plating solution containing a second metal.

A polymer matrix composite includes layers that alternate between a thin carbon fiber veil layer and a thicker base carbon fiber reinforcement layer. Each veil is coated with conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) prior to being added as a laminate layer. Epoxy resin fixes CNTs extended into adjacent reinforcement layers, which results in a composite improved in interlaminar strength, fracture toughness, and impact resistance. Thermal and electrical conductivity are also improved due to the conductive CNTs bridging the resin-insulating interlayer region. As the fuzzy fiber veil is not relied on to provide strength or stiffness to the composite structure, any damage to the veil will not affect composite integrity. Also, as the CNT growth is not on a replacement section of reinforcement layer, the composite avoids pitfalls of strength degradation, reinforcing phase continuity disruption, and residual stress introduction.

A flexible flat cable (FFC) includes a first insulation layer, at least one pair of conductors, a plurality of low-k dielectric layers, two second insulation layers, and at least one shielding layer.

The low-k dielectric layers are embedded in the first insulation layer. Each of the pair of conductors or each of the first conductors is covered and surrounded with one low-k dielectric layer. The two second insulation layers are located on two surfaces of the first insulation layer. The shielding layer is located on the two second insulation layers opposite to the first insulation layer.
