Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an insulating film-forming material comprising a curable composition comprisING (A) an inorganic polymer compound or an organic polymer compound and (B) an organic solvent, which comprises treating the curable composition with a zeta potential-producing filter material.

Abstract:
A liquid crystal aligning agent comprising two or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyamic acids and imidated polymers having structures prepared by dehydration and ring closure of polyamic acids. In the above two or more polymers, the larger the degree of imidation of the polymer, the smaller the surface free energy of the polymer. This aligning agent is less likely to cause an afterimage in a liquid crystal display device and has a high pretilt angle.

Abstract:
A stacked film, a method for the production of the stacked film, an insulating film comprising the stacked film, and a substrate for semiconductor, using the insulating film. The stacked film comprises films of two or more kinds of alkoxysilane hydrolysis condensates having 5 nm or more difference in a mean radius of gyration, or films of alkoxysilane hydrolysis condensate having 0.3 or more difference in the dielectric constant. The stacked film is obtained by applying a coating solution comprising (B) a compound having a mean radius of gyration of less than 10 nm, and then applying a coating solution comprising (A) a compound having a mean radius of gyration of from 10 to 30 nm, followed by heating. The stacked film provides a dielectric film (substrate for semiconductor) having superior adhesion to a CVD film.
