Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional resin compositions for high dielectric constant materials face challenges in achieving a balance between high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss tangent, impact resistance, and good outer appearance, particularly in antenna applications, where increased ceramic powder content leads to high specific gravity and fragility, and carbon black addition results in poor dispersion and plating issues.

Innovation Solution

A resin composition containing 40-80% by mass of a resin material and 20-60% by mass of carbon black with specific DBP absorption and iodine adsorption values, optimized for high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss tangent, along with a two-color molding process using a polycarbonate resin, and a master batch for coloring with a carbon black having controlled DBP absorption, ensuring excellent dispersion and handling properties.
