Provided is a conductive laminate including a base material and a conductive ink film provided on the base material, in which a region that extends from a first main surface toward a second main surface to a position being away from the first main surface by a distance equivalent to 50% of a thickness of the conductive ink film has a first void ratio of 15% to 50%, a region that extends from a position being away from the second main surface toward the first main surface by a distance equivalent to 10% of the thickness of the conductive ink film to the second main surface has a second void ratio which is smaller than the first void ratio, and the conductive ink film comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of silver, gold, platinum, nickel, palladium, and copper.

The present disclosure relates to a spatio-temporal stimulus responsive foldable structure. The structure may have a substrate having at least a region formed to provide engineered weakness to help facilitate bending or folding of the substrate about the region of engineered weakness. The substrate is formed to have a first shape. A stimulus responsive polymer (SRP) flexure is disposed at the region of engineered weakness. The SRP flexure is responsive to a predetermined stimulus actuation signal to bend or fold in response to exposure to the stimulus actuation signal, to cause the substrate to assume a second shape different from the first shape.

An electromagnetic wave absorber includes an electromagnetic wave-absorbing layer (10) and an adhesive layer (20). The adhesive layer (20) is disposed on at least one surface of the electromagnetic wave-absorbing layer (10). The electromagnetic wave absorber is capable of being adhered to a surface having a step in such a manner that the adhesive layer (20) is in contact with the surface. The adhesive layer (20) has a thickness equal to or greater than a reference height determined by subtracting 0.1 mm from the height of the step. In the electromagnetic wave absorber, a return loss ΔR defined by ΔR=Rt−Rr is 15 dB or more. Rt is a reflection amount of a 76-GHz electromagnetic wave and is measured for a reference specimen. Rr is a reflection amount of a 76-GHz electromagnetic wave and is measured for a specimen obtained by adhering the electromagnetic wave absorber.
