Certain example embodiments relate to electric, potentially-driven shades usable with insulating glass (IG) units, IG units including such shades, and/or associated methods. In such a unit, a dynamic shade is located between the substrates defining the IG unit, and is movable between retracted and extended positions. The dynamic shade includes on-glass layers including a transparent conductor and an insulator or dielectric film, as well as a shutter. The shutter includes a resilient polymer, a conductor, and optional ink. Holes, invisible to the naked eye, may be formed in the polymer. Those holes may be sized, shaped, and arranged to promote summertime solar energy reflection and wintertime solar energy transmission. The conductor may be transparent or opaque. When the conductor is reflective, overcoat layers may be provided to help reduce internal reflection. The polymer may be capable of surviving high-temperature environments and may be colored in some instances.

Provided is an adhesive composition that is characterized by containing a modified polypropylene-based resin (A), an epoxy resin (B) and an unmodified polypropylene-based resin (C), with the modified polypropylene-based resin (A) being a resin obtained by graft modifying an unmodified polypropylene-based resin (D) with a modifying agent that contains an ,-unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, the content of the modified polypropylene-based resin (A) being 10 mass % or more in terms of solid content, and the content of the unmodified polypropylene-based resin (C) being 1-90 mass % in terms of solid content. The adhesive composition exhibits good adhesion to a copper foil or a base material film comprising a polyimide resin or the like, and exhibits improved dielectric properties.

A method for producing a device substrate by obtaining a laminate comprising a carrier substrate with a first polyimide film disposed on at least one surface of the carrier substrate, a second polyimide film disposed on the first polyimide film, applying a physical stimulus to the second polyimide film without causing chemical changes in the first polyimide film such that the adhesive strength of the first polyimide to the second polyimide film decreases and separating the second polyimide film from the first polyimide film formed on the carrier substrate to obtain the device.

A heated floor panel assembly for aircraft includes structural layers made of a fiber matrix and a high temperature thermoplastic resin.
