Abstract:
A LEATHER-LIKE SHOE-UPPER MATERIAL USEFUL FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF HIGH QUALITY DRESS SHOES IS PREPARED BY FIRST MAKING A MOISTURE-PERMEABLE SHEET MATERIAL HAVING A LAYER OF MICROPOROUS POLYMERIC COMPOSITION IN SUPERPOSED ADHERENCE WITH A FIBROUS SUBSTRATE SUCH AS A SINGLE OR MULTIPLE LAYER FABRIC, SAID LAYER OF COMPOSITION HAVING A PORE STRUCTURE WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN A UNIFORMAPPEARING FINISH UNDER PRACTICAL MANUFACTURING CONDITIONS WHEN ONE OF MORE FINISH COATS IS APPLIED AND THE COATED
SURFACE IS GRAIN-EMBOSSED; THEN THE SHEET MATERIAL IS SUBJECTED TO HEAT AND PRESSURE UNDER CAREFULLY REGULATED CONDITIONS UNTIL THE PORE STRUCTURE OF SAID LAYER OF COMPOSITION IS MODIFIED AND CONSOLIDATED TO SUUCH AN EXTENT THAT THE SURFACE CAN BE FINISH-COATED AND GRAIN-EMBOSSED TO PROVIDE A PRODUCT HAVING NOT ONLY SATISFACTORY BREATHABILITY BUT ALSO OUTSTANDING UNIFORMITY IN SUCH CRITICAL APPEARANCE PROPERTIES AS COLOR, GRAIN PATTERN AND SMOOTHNESS.
Abstract:
A polymer composition containing a polymer (B) obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition containing: a methacrylic acid ester macromonomer (b1) represented by the following formula (1); and another monomer (b2). Also, a porous membrane formed from a membrane forming polymer (A) and the aforementioned polymer composition.

Abstract:
A fluoropolymer including a vinylidene fluoride unit, a tetrafluoroethylene unit, and a unit represented by the following formula (1): —CHX1—CX2(OR)— (1) wherein one of X1 and X2 is a hydrogen atom, and the other is a fluorine atom; and R is a hydrogen atom or a C1-C8 alkyl group.
Abstract:
The present invention aims to provide a porous polymer membrane that is excellent not only in water permeability and alkali resistance but also in mechanical strength. The porous polymer membrane of the present invention includes a fluoropolymer (A) that includes a vinylidene fluoride unit and a tetrafluoroethylene unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a porous polyimide membrane of a three-layer structure having two surface layers (a) and (b) and a macrovoid layer interposed between the surface layers (a) and (b), wherein the macrovoid layer has a partition wall joined to the surface layers (a) and (b) and plural macrovoids surrounded by the partition wall and the surface layers (a) and (b), with an average void diameter in a membrane plane direction of from 10 to 500 μm; each of the partition wall of the macrovoid layer and the surface layers (a) and (b) has a thickness of from 0.1 to 50 μm and has plural pores having an average pore diameter of from 0.01 to 5 μm, the pores being communicated with each other and also communicated with the macrovoids; and the membrane has a total membrane thickness of from 5 to 500 μm and a porosity of from 70 to 95%.
