Abstract:
The present invention relates to a porous membrane including a polymer including a polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin as a main component, and a branched polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin as the polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin, in which the polymer has a value of a of 0.32 to 0.41 and a value of b of 0.18 to 0.42, each of which is determined by approximation according to the formula 1 below from a radius of gyration 1/2 and an absolute molecular weight Mw of the polymer which are measured by GPC-MALS (gel permeation chromatograph equipped with a multi-angle light scattering detector). 1/2=bMwa (Formula 1).
Abstract:
Polyphenylene sulfide microparticles have a linseed oil absorption amount of 40 to 1,000 mL/100 g and a number average particle diameter of 1 to 200 μm. The porous PPS microparticles have a large specific surface area and therefore promote fusion of particles when molded into various molded bodies by applying thermal energy, thus enabling formation or molding of a coating layer of particles at a lower temperature in a shorter time. The porous PPS microparticles have a porous shape and therefore enable scattering light in multiple directions and suppression of specific reflection of reflected light in a specific direction, thus making it possible to impart shading effect and matte effect when added to a medium.

Provided is a porous para-oriented aromatic polyamide film which contains fine particles composed of a heat-resistant resin in an amount of 10 to 400 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a pare-oriented aromatic polyamide and has a linear thermal expansion coefficient at 200 to 300null C. of from null50null10null6/null C. to null50null10null6/null C. The porous para-oriented aromatic polyamide film shows excellent tear propagation resistance and has light weight and low linear thermal expansion coefficient, and is suitable as a prepreg material used for a base substrate for printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A microporous biocompatible material is formed by preparing a segmented polyether urethane urea solution containing 25%.+-.1.5% solids dissolved in a solvent. The solution has sufficient viscosity to be preshaped and formed into the desired thickness of the finished article, then immediately immersed into a precipitation bath in which the solvent in the solution is miscible for a time interval sufficient to cause the solution to set up into an opaque elastomeric article. The article is immediately removed from the bath, any excess solvent extracted and then dried at a temperature on the order of 35.degree. C. to 70.degree. C. followed by heat treating by annealing for approximately sixty minutes at a temperature at 100.degree. C. to 130.degree. C. The void volume of the membrane solution is controlled to within the 50% to 80% range and the pore size from ca
Abstract:
The present invention relates to molded articles of an open-cell structure, containing a copolymer which is comprised of copolymerized, fluorinated olefin, copolymerized vinyl acetate and optionally copolymerized olefin, the acetate groups of the copolymer being optionally saponified into OH groups. The molded articles possess an inherent latent structural convertibility and have effective pores of a diameter in the range from 0.002 to 10 .mu.m. The invention further includes processes for the preparation of the specified molded articles and processes for converting their structure. The invention also relates to several uses of molded articles according to the invention.
Abstract:
A process of manufacturing a microporous sheet by forming a blend of a polyolefin, silica and a water insoluble plasticizer, forming a sheet from the blend, and contacting the sheet with water for a time sufficient to render the sheet microporous. The plasticizer, being essentially insoluble in water, is easily separated therefrom and recycled. The preferred plasticizers are dialkyl phthalates and dialkyl adipates having between about two and about eleven carbon atoms in the oxo-alcohol moiety.
Abstract:
SUPPLE, MICROPOROUS, BREATHABLE ELASTOMERIC FILMS WITH A SYSTEM OF INTERCOMMUNICATING CELLS ARE DESCRIBED. THE FILMS WHICH OPTICALLY CONTAIN INERT ORGANIC OR INORGANIC PARTICLES VARYING IN SIZE FROM ABOUT 0.02 MICRON TO 150 MICRONS ARE PREPARED BY DEPOSITION FROM A SOLUTION SPREAD ON A SUITABLE SURFACE. DEPOSITION IS EFFECTED BY EXPOSURE OF THE SOLUTION TO A LIQUID WHICH IS MISCIBLE WITH THE SOLVENT BUT WHICH DOES NOT DISSOLVE THE ELASTOMER. THE USEOF THE FILM IN THE PREPARATION OF LEATHER REPLACEMENT COMPOSITIONS BY INTEGRATION AS A GRAIN LAYER IN AND ON THE SURFACE OF SUITABLE SUBSTRATES IS DESCRIBED. FOR THIS USE THE SELECTED SUBSTRATE IS WET WITH A LIQUID IN WHICH THE ELASTOMER IS INSOLUBLE, COATED WITH A SOLUTION OF THE ELASTOMER IN A SOLVENT WHICH IS MISCIBLE WITH THE LIQUID USED TO WET SUBSTRATE, AND THE WET, COATED SUBSTRATE IS TREATED WITH ADDITIONAL LIQUIE TO DEPOSIT THE ELASTOMER EXTENDING INTO THE UPPER STRATA OF THE SUBSTRATE AND ABOVE ITS SURFACE.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A SEMIERMEABLE MEMBRANE BY POURING A LAYER OF A SOLUTION OF A PLASTIC ONTO A SUPPORT, EVAPORATING A PORTION OF THE SOLVENT FROM THE LAYER WHEREBY THE LAYERS IS PROVIDED WITH A SURFACE LAYER POOR IN SOLVENT, AND REMOVING THE REMAINING SOLVENT FROM THE LAYER BY MEANS OF A LIQUID WHICH IS MISCIBLE WITH THE SOLVENT BUT DOES NOT DISSOLVE THE PLASTIC, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISNG EMPLOYING AS THE PLASTIC AT LEAST ONE POLYAMIDE WHICH IS A POLYMERIZED B-LACTAM UNSUBSTITUTED AT THE NITROGEN ATOM.
