Appeal No. 95-3835
Application 08/107,047
THE INVENTION
Appellant claims a composite article which includes a cured electrosetting
composition which contains aligned particles and is produced by a recited process. Claim
1 is illustrative and reads as follows:
1. A composite article, comprising:
a first electrically conductive substrate;
a second electrically conductive substrate spaced apart from said first electrically
conductive substrate;
cured electrosetting composition between said first and second substrates, said
cured electrosetting composition having embedded therein voids and having embedded
therein columns of aligned particles;
said voids and columns having been produced by the application of an electric
current to said electrosetting composition during the time when said composition was
curing, said electric current having an electric current density of at least 0.667 milliamps
per square inch;
wherein said electrosetting composition comprises, in an uncured state, a phase
changing vehicle and an aggregate, said phase changing vehicle being both a dielectric
and a polymer, said aggregate comprising particles which will polarize in an electric field,
said uncured electrosetting composition being capable of carrying an electric current
density of at least 0.667 milliams[sic, milliamps] per square inch.
