Abstract:
Method for removing hydrocarbon products from water surfaces which consists in putting said hydrocarbon products in contact with a polypropylene previously treated using a procedure which includes: (a) mixing a polypropylene with at least one silicon compound having a sterically hindered amine group in the molecule; (b) melting the above mixture at a temperature and for a time which is sufficient to form a single liquid phase; (c) cooling the mixture until a solid is formed which is then reduced into the desired physical form; (d) extracting the silicon compound from the above solid with a solvent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a high-strength porous film or sheet consisting essentially of a high-molecular-weight polyethylene resin having a viscosity-average molecular weight of not less than 300,000, wherein the said film has a thickness of 5 to 50 µm, an air permeability of 200 to 1,000 sec/100 cc, a porosity of 10 to 50% and a pin puncture strength of not less than 600 gf/25 µm, and a process for producing the said film.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a porous separator substrate with an inverse opal structure obtained by using an engineering plastic resin with high heat-resistance, and a manufacturing method thereof. In the method, a non-crosslinked polymer resin is used to form an opal structure and a crosslinked polymer resin is penetrated into the opal structure and an organic solvent is used to remove the polymer particles being used to form the opal structure, thereby manufacturing a porous substrate with an inverse opal structure. According to the present disclosure, a separator having good porosity and air permeability can be provided without the problems of heat-resistance decrease, pore closing and thickness decrease.
Abstract:
A resin product wherein a resin B has pillar structures or lamellar structures inside a resin A is moulded by kneading the resin A and the resin B that serves as a base material in an injection moulding machine while heating both of the resins to at least a temperature at which both of the resins are melted at least partially. The resin product is soaked in a solution having higher erosion capability with respect to the resin A than the resin B, thereby dissolving the resin B and forming an uneven structure on the surface. As a result, an uneven structure having various shapes, densities or depths which are precisely adjustable can be formed at low cost. And provided are a resin structure and a production method thereof that can maintain wettability control or optical property control of the moulded article over a long period of time.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a microporous film comprising the steps of:
(a) providing a first polymer which is a hydrophobic thermoplastic polymer and a second polymer which is a hydrophilic polymer or copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone; (b) dissolving said first and second polymers in a solvent system which is compatible with both polymers, said solvent system comprising a blend of an aprotic organic solvent and an alcohol; (c) coating the resulting solution on a support; (d) effecting at least a partial drying of the resulting coating; and (e) washing the coating in an aqueous medium so as to extract at least 50% by weight of the said second polymer.
Image accepting members comprising a microporous film made by the above method, and preferably comprising a support which is also microporous.
Abstract:
(57) The present invention provides a porous chitin shaped article which has a wet strength of not less than about 1 g/mm 2 . The shaped article has preferably a porosity of more than 90%, The present invention also provides a process for preparing the above chitin shaped article, which comprises:
dissolving chitin in a solvent to form a dope, dispersing a water-soluble polymer, which is solid at ambient temperature, in said dope to form a coagulated article, and removing the water-soluble polymer from said coagulated article by treating with aqueous solution.
Abstract:
A molding device produces a porous film from a molding material which is an emulsion. In a case where a volume of a dispersed phase is X1 and a volume of a continuous phase is X2, the molding material has a value of X1/(X1+X2) within a range of 0.5 or more and 0.9 or less. In the molding material, a specific gravity of the dispersed phase is greater than a specific gravity of the continuous phase. The molding material includes a water phase containing a curable compound as the continuous phase, and forms a liquid film on a support. Thereafter, the curable compound in the liquid film is cured. After curing, the dispersed phase is removed.
