Abstract

Provided is a base material having a conductor pattern formed thereon, which is obtained by forming, at a high productivity on a base material, a conductor pattern having a lower surface resistivity and a higher conductivity than in the related art. A receiving layer 5 made of a cellulose acetate alkylate is formed on a surface of a base material 4 . A conductor pattern 6 is formed by printing a conductive paste 3 in a predetermined pattern shape onto the surface of the receiving layer 5.

Claims (22)

1. A base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon, comprising:

a base material;

a receiving layer formed on the base material, the receiving layer being made of a cellulose acetate alkylate; and

a conductor pattern formed on the receiving layer, the conductor pattern being formed of a conductive paste having a predetermined shape,

wherein 10% or more of a conductor thickness of the conductor pattern is embedded in the receiving layer.

2. The base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor pattern has the conductor thickness of 0.5 μm or more.

3. The base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon according to claim 1 , wherein the cellulose acetate alkylate used is at least one selected from among cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate propionate butyrate.

4. The base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor pattern is formed by heat-treating the conductive paste with steam.

5. The base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor pattern is formed by pressing the conductive paste.

6. The base material with a conductor pattern formed thereon according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor pattern is formed by pressing the conductive paste with a roller in a heated state.

7. A method of foaming a base material with a conductor pattern thereon, comprising the steps of:

providing a base material;

forming a receiving layer made of a cellulose acetate alkylate on the base material; and

forming a conductor pattern by arranging a conductive paste in a predetermined shape on the receiving layer,

wherein the conductor pattern is formed on the receiving layer in such a way that 10% or more of a thickness of the conductor pattern lies at or inward of a surface of the receiving layer.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the conductor pattern is formed to the thickness of 0.5 μm or more.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the cellulose acetate alkylate is at least one selected from among cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate and cellulose acetate propionate butyrate.

10. A method of forming a base material with a conductor pattern thereon, comprising the steps of:

providing a base material;

forming a receiving layer made of a cellulose acetate alkylate on the base material; and

forming a conductor pattern by arranging a conductive paste in a predetermined shape on the receiving layer,

wherein the conductor pattern is formed by at least one selected from among heat-treating the conductive paste with steam, pressing the conductive paste and pressing the conductive paste with a roller in a heated state.
