A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition contains an adhesive component and gas-generative particles dispersed in the adhesive component. When the gas-generative particles are subjected to particle size distribution measurement, in the particle size distribution of the gas-generative particles, a cumulative particle size (D90) where a cumulative value from the smallest particle size is 90% based on volume is 10.0 μm or less.

The present invention relates to an electrically conductive adhesive composition including: a conductive powder (A) and a curable component (B) which has a content of 20 5 parts by mass or more when an amount of the conductive powder (A) is 100 parts by mass; and a phosphoric acid-containing curable component (C) having a general formula of formula (1) or (2), and having a molecular weight within a range of 150 to 1000, in which the phosphoric acid-containing curable component (C) has a content of 0.01 parts by mass or more and 5 parts by mass or less when a total amount of the conductive powder (A) and the 10 curable component (B) is 100 parts by mass.

A first stack is formed by stacking a first sheet of metal foil, a first prepreg, and a second sheet of metal foil, one on top of another. The first prepreg is thermally cured by thermally pressing these members to make a double-sided metal-clad laminate. Conductor wiring is formed by partially removing the first sheet of metal foil from the double-sided metal-clad laminate to make a printed wiring board. After a third sheet of metal foil has been preheated, the conductor wiring of the printed wiring board, a second prepreg, and the third sheet of metal foil are stacked one on top of another and thermally pressed together. The first insulating layer has a lower linear expansion coefficient than any of the first sheet of metal foil or the second sheet of metal foil does.

An emission enhancement structure having at least one energy augmentation structure; and an energy converter capable of receiving energy from an energy source, converting the energy and emitting therefrom a light of a different energy than the received energy. The energy converter is disposed in a vicinity of the at least one energy augmentation structure such that the emitted light is emitted with an intensity larger than if the converter were remote from the at least one energy augmentation structure. Also described are various uses for the energy emitters, energy augmentation structures and energy collectors in a wide array of fields, including various adhesives applications.
