The mix proportion of above-mentioned electrically-conducting paint is, adhesive resin is that 62~73% volume ratio, silver powder are that 24~34% volume ratio, reinforcement material are 2~5% volume ratio, and above-mentioned adhesive resin is a resol resin.And above-mentioned mix proportion is the ratio that does not contain organic solvent, and the mix proportion of removing in the conductive coat dry behind the organic solvent is also consistent therewith.
And reinforcement material should adopt the nickel powder of Mohs' hardness 3.5~4.5, is more preferably the nickel powder that is roughly the flat sugared shape of gold, promptly has the nickel powder of needle pattern kick on the surface.Perhaps, above-mentioned nickel powder also can be that spherical particle about average grain diameter 3~10 μ m (needs not to be complete spheroidal.Down with), or 15% silver covers flake shaped particle on the nickel powder or 15% silver and covers spherical particle on the nickel powder etc.Mix proportion as the nickel powder of reinforcement material is advisable with 2~5% volume ratio, preferably 2.0~3.3% volume ratio.
And the mix proportion of electrically-conducting paint (mix proportion that does not contain organic material) also can be: adhesive resin is 62~70% volume ratio, and silver powder is 24~34% volume ratio, and reinforcement material whisker (microfibre) is 1.9~4.8% volume ratio.
Whisker in the case be advisable with long 10~30 μ m of average fiber, average fiber footpath 0.3~1.0 μ m, and whisker hardness is advisable with Mohs' hardness 3.5~4.5, for example potassium titanate crystal whisker, calcium carbonate crystal whisker etc.If Mohs' hardness is below 3.5, then the wear extent of electrode pattern 3a, 3c increases; If Mohs' hardness is greater than 4.5, the wear extent of then slide sub-6a, 6c increases, and simultaneously, the contact life-span of variable resistance is difficult to prolong.
And above-mentioned potassium titanate crystal whisker for example can use dike that this Da of Ri mound chemical company sells this not (テ イ ス モ, trade name) etc.And calcium carbonate crystal whisker can use Wei Sikaer (ウ イ ス カ Le, trade name) of Japanese ball tail Calcium company etc.
The average grain of the block silver powder of above-mentioned ball directly is 3~6 μ m, and is littler than the reinforcement material of average grain diameter 7~10 μ m or long 10~30 μ m of average fiber.Like this, the block silver powder of ball exists easily in the inside of electrode pattern 3a, 3c, can avoid contacting with the direct of sub-6a, 6c that slide, so can reduce wearing and tearing.Therefore, by sneaking into the block silver powder of ball, can keep the electrode pattern 3a that constitutes by the conduction coated film that forms with electrically-conducting paint, the conductivity of 3c.
Because intergranular contact point is many in the above-mentioned dendroid silver powder, so, by sneaking into dendroid silver powder, can improve the conductivity of electrode pattern 3a, 3b.And flakey silver powder is that spherical silver powder is crushed the formation flat, can increase the area of in-plane, so, by sneaking into flakey silver powder, can improve the conductivity of the in-plane of electrode pattern 3a, 3b.Hope except the block silver powder of ball, is also sneaked into dendroid silver powder or/and flakey silver powder in silver powder.
And resistance coating for example adopts following carbon pastes etc.: except carbon black, sneak into and dispersed carbon pearl (spherical vitreous carbon), carbon fiber, graphite in order to adjust hardness in resol resin.

In any manufacture method of the above-mentioned the 1st~the 5th, all can utilize the mould that a pair of minute surface is got up opposite one another to carry out on the above-mentioned hot pressing process.In hot pressing process, substrate 3 is placed on hot pressing with between the minute surface of mould, between the minute surface of mould, on one side substrate 3 is heated, Yi Bian pressurize.The suitable condition of above-mentioned hot pressing process is: pressure 7.84MPa (80kg/cm 2)~49.0MPa (500kg/cm 2), best condition is: 19.6MPa (200kg/cm 2)~39.2MPa (400kg/cm 2).
And the heating-up temperature during hot pressing is advisable more than the glass transition temperature (being about 80 ℃ under the situation of PET) with substrate 3, and the better heating temperature is 175 ℃~185 ℃.In the case, the proper range of hot pressing time is 15 seconds~3 minutes.
When the substrate 3 that is made of above-mentioned thermoplastic resin carries out hot pressing more than the glass transition temperature, substrate 3 can be out of shape, so, even on the electrically-conducting paint that prints on the surface of substrate 3, have concavo-convex, also it can be imbedded substrate 3 inside and, make the error of the thickness direction of electrode pattern reach minimum above-mentioned concavo-convex sponging.
