Abstract

A laminate body is provided, in which two or more organopolysiloxane cured films are obtained by curing curable organopolysiloxane compositions having different compositions because, e.g., the functions required for a dielectric layer and electrode layer are different. In general, problems such as peeling and defects due to insufficient adhesive strength and trackability do not easily occur at an interface between the cured films forming the laminate body. Applications and methods are also provided. The laminate body comprises a structure with two or more laminated organopolysiloxane cured films with different compositions. At least a portion of functional groups involved in the curing reaction are the same. The laminated cured films have structures chemically bonded at an interface thereof. Typically, the compositions both contain a hydrosilylation reactive group, and a SiH/Vi ratio in the compositions differ, with the laminated cured films having structures chemically bonded by hydrosilylation reactions at an interface thereof.

A laminate body, comprising a structure with two or more laminated organopolysiloxane cured films obtained by curing curable organopolysiloxane compositions with different compositions where at least a portion of functional groups involved in the curing reaction are the same, wherein the laminated organopolysiloxane cured films have structures chemically bonded at an interface thereof: wherein the curable organopolysiloxane compositions, which are cured to provide an organopolysiloxane cured film, at least contain:

(A) an organopolysiloxane with a curing reactive group having at least two carboncarbon double bonds in one molecule;

(B) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in the molecule, in (in an amount within a range in which the amount of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in this component is 0.5 to 2.5 mol per 1 mol of the total amount of carbon-carbon double bonds in the composition; and component); and

(C) an effective amount of a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst;

wherein the laminated organopolysiloxane cured films have structures chemically bonded at an interface thereof by a hydrosilylation reaction between the aforementioned component (A) and component (B);

wherein one of the organopolysiloxane cured films contains electrically conductive microparticles, in which the substance amount [SiH/Vi] Elec of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in an organohydrogenpolysiloxane component is 0.5 mols or more to 1.0 mol or less per 1 mol of the total amount of carbon-carbon double bonds in the composition;

wherein the other of the organopolysiloxane cured films is a dielectric layer and does not contain electrically conductive microparticles, and the substance amount [SiH/Vi] DEAP of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in an organohydrogenpolysiloxane component per 1 mol of carbon-carbon double bonds in the composition is more than 1.0 mol to 2.0 mol; and

wherein the value of [SiH/ViJriec/[SiH/Vi]pEap is within a range of 0.33 to 0.85.

2 . The laminate body according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the laminated organopolysiloxane cured films has a volume resistivity of 10 2 Ω·cm or less.
