Decorative Multi-Layer Surfacing Materials Having Embedded Conductive Materials, Solid Surfaces Made Therewith, Methods for Making Such Surfacing Materials and Uses Therefor

摘要

Decorative, multi-layer surfacing materials, surfaces made therewith, methods of making such and wireless power transmission using the same, which surfacing materials comprise: a first resin-impregnated paper layer and a second resin-impregnated paper layer, and a first conductive material having a first terminus and a second terminus and capable of carrying an electric current from the first terminus to the second terminus; wherein the first conductive material is disposed on a first surface of the first resin-impregnated paper layer; wherein the first resin-impregnated paper layer and the second resin-impregnated paper layer are disposed in a stacked and compressed such that the first conductive material is encapsulated between the first resin-impregnated paper layer and the second resin-impregnated paper layer; and wherein at least one of the first resin-impregnated paper layer, the second resin-impregnated paper layer or an optional additional resin-impregnated paper layer is a decorative layer.
