Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetic sheet production methods result in uneven resin distribution, leading to excessive adhesion on one surface and reduced adhesion on the other, failing to achieve balanced adhesiveness on both principal surfaces.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic sheet with a controlled ratio of carbon and oxygen, between 10 mass % and 60 mass %, on both principal surfaces, achieved through specific production methods that include blending magnetic particles and resin with an organic solvent, applying the mixture, and drying it using controlled heating techniques to maintain balanced resin distribution.
