Title: Akira Akimoto: Innovator in Synthetic Paper Technology
Introduction
Akira Akimoto is a notable inventor based in Ibaraki, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of synthetic paper technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to materials used for writing and printing.
Latest Patents
Akimoto's latest patents include a synthetic paper designed for writing and printing. This invention features a pencil writable and printable synthetic paper that comprises a finely porous polyolefin film layer. This layer has an opacity of at least 80%, achieved by stretching a polyolefin film containing from 8 to 65% by weight of an inorganic fine powder. The design includes a stretched ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film layer, which prevents hydrocarbon solvents in printing inks from penetrating the polyolefin film layer, thus eliminating local surface unevenness and curling. Another notable patent is for a synthetic paper that is printable in high gloss. This paper consists of a multilayer support, a layer of a transparent film of a thermoplastic resin free from inorganic fine powder, and a primer layer made from a specific material. The support includes a base layer of a biaxially stretched film of a thermoplastic resin and surface and back layers composed of a monoaxially stretched film containing from 8 to 65% by weight of an inorganic fine powder.
