An anode substrate constituted of a conductive film forming substrate and a reinforcing substrate having different thermal expansion coefficient and being bonded together by the arrangement of adhesive layers is disclosed. The substrate can prevent creation of cracks on the conductive film forming substrate when heating and cooling the anode substrate. The adhesive layers are arranged at an interval, each of the adhesive layers being formed into a shape selected from a group consisting of a rectangular strip shape and a curved strip shape. The adhesive layers are arranged in a pattern to be symmetry with respect to a center line of the arrangement of the adhesive layers extending perpendicular to a line connecting both longitudinal ends of the arrangement of the adhesive layer. Furthermore, the adhesive layers include an outer adhesive portion located outward among remaining adhesive layers, and the outer adhesive layers are arranged shorter than the remaining adhesive layers.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of liquid-crystalline organopolysiloxane which provides for the facile introduction of a mesogenic group without the use of a hydrosilylation reaction.

Method for the production of liquid-crystalline organopolysiloxanes

A diorganopolysiloxane in which a polymerizable functional group is present at one (or both) molecule chain ends and in which an arbitrary group is present at the other end can be easily synthesized. The synthesis involves the opening of a cyclotrisiloxane using an alkali metal silanolate which bears the polymerizable functional group, followed by a capping reaction. The resulting diorganopolysiloxane can be used effectively as a feed material for manufacturing silicone rubbers, feed material for manufacturing novel grafted organopolysiloxanes, comonomer components for resins other than organopolysiloxanes or plastics, etc.

Self-bonding curable organopolysiloxane composition

What is disclosed and claimed are organopolysiloxanes having liquid crystalline properties at relatively low temperatures as compared to prior art materials. The organopolysiloxanes have this property by virtue of a unique chemical spacer between the siloxane and the mesogenic groups, which spacers are oxyalkylene groups.

Polymerizing cyclic trisiloxanes using as the polymerization initiator an alkali metal salt of an organosilane or organopolysiloxane having a terminal alkenyl group, followed by termination of the reaction, produces an organopolysiloxane having an alkenyl group on one end. These organopolysiloxanes are useful for making copolymers and as additives to siloxane elastomers.

Method of manufacturing organopolysiloxane having terminal alkenyl groups

Polydiorganosiloxanes which have a pendant alkenyl radical in the middle of the molecular chain are prepared by a nonequilibrium, living polymerization of cyclic trisiloxanes using an organopolysiloxane alkali metal salt of the formula ##STR1## where M is lithium, sodium, or potassium, which takes place under substantially anhydrous conditions, and the polymerization is terminated with an end-capping reaction to produce a polydiorganosiloxane of the formula ##STR2## where R.sup.1 is an alkenyl radical. These polymers can be used to make graft copolymers and can be made more functional when the ends are capped with functional groups.
