Provided is a foam sheet that can raise an electrostatic capacitance at the time of compression, and hence can improve sensitivity when used for an electrostatic capacitance sensor. The foam sheet includes: a foam layer; and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer arranged on at least one side of the foam layer, wherein the foam sheet has a dielectric constant increase amount Q-P at 10% compression of 0.2 (F/m) or more, where P (F/m) represents a dielectric constant of the foam sheet immediately after the foam sheet has been left at rest under conditions of a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 50% for 2 hours, and Q (F/m) represents a dielectric constant of the foam sheet at a time when the foam sheet is compressed by 10% immediately after being left at rest under the conditions of a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 50% for 2 hours.

Provided are novel energy-efficient signal-transparent window assemblies and methods of fabricating thereof. These window assemblies are specifically configured to allow selective penetration of electromagnetic wavelengths greater than 0.5 millimeters, representing current and future wireless signal spectrum. This signal penetration is provided while IR blocking properties are retained. Furthermore, the windows assemblies remain substantially transparent within the visible spectrum with no specific features detectable to the naked eye. This unique performance is achieved by patterning conductive layers such that the conductive layer edges remain protected during most fabrication steps and the fabrication. As such, the conductive layers are encapsulated and being separated from the environment while retaining separation between individual disjoined structures of these layers. For example, a barrier layer and/or a dielectric layer may extend over the conductive layer edge. The patterning is achieved by forming photoresist structures on the substrate and depositing a low-E stack over these photoresist structures.

Disclosed herein is provided a method for manufacturing a polyimide film, the method comprising the steps of: preparing a polyamic acid solution; preparing a polyamic add composition by adding 2-3 mole equivalents of a dehydrating agent to the polyamic acid solution; and applying the polyamic acid to a support to form a film, followed by thermosetting the film in a heater.

Provided is a light weight and remarkably flexible sheet-shaped radio wave absorber having excellent radio wave absorbing capacity in milliwave band frequencies. The invention is a milliwave band radio wave absorption sheet comprising a radio wave reflection layer (A), a radio wave absorption layer (B) disposed above the layer (A) so as to be parallel thereto, and a protective layer (C) disposed above the layer (B) so as to be parallel thereto. The layer (B) has, at a frequency of 79 GHz, a dielectric constant, wherein the real part is 10 to 20 and the absolute value of the imaginary part is 4 to 10. The layer (B) has a film thickness of 200 to 400 μm. The absolute value of the imaginary part/real part from the dielectric constant is within a range of 0.30 to 0.60. The layer (C) has, at a frequency of 79 GHz, a dielectric constant, wherein the real part is 1.5 to 8.0 and the absolute value of the imaginary part is less than 1.0, and has a film thickness of 50 to 200 μm. In the milliwave band radio wave absorption sheet, the optical reflectance at an incident angle of 60° is 50% or greater, and the optical reflectance at an incident angle of 20° is 25% or greater.
