Abstract:
A polyester resin used as a binder for a toner which is excellent in offset resistance and low-temperature fixation, can keep electrostatic charge stability even under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions, has an excellent durability, and can provide clear images. It is produced by linking cross-linked low-molecular-weight polyester molecules at least part thereof through a dicarboxylic acid as a linking agent.
Abstract:
A polycaprolactone staple fiber having a tensile strength of 3.0 g/denier or above, the number of crimps of 8-35/25 mm and a crimp ratio of 5.0 % or above. A biodegradable polycaprolactone staple fiber having excellent crimp characteristics and strength can be provided by melt spinning a polycaprolactone with a melt flow rate of 25 g/10 min or less at 200 to 300 °C, cooling the formed fiber, applying thereto a spinning finish, taking up, if desirable, the treated fiber, stretching the same in one or more steps at room temperature to 60 °C, mechanically crimping the stretched fiber, applying thereto a short fiber finish, drying the treated fiber, and cutting the dried fiber.
Abstract:
An elastic net exhibiting no elasticity in the machine direction and elasticity in the cross direction is prepared. The elastic net comprises non-elastic vertical filaments and elastic horizontal filaments arranged in a lattice pattern. A laminated sheet is obtained by laminating a continuous fiber web formed by arranging drawn polyester continuous fibers in the machine direction on one surface of the elastic net. A discontinuous fiber web is laminated onto both surfaces of the laminated sheet, said discontinuous fiber web formed by cotton fibers and polyester discontinuous fibers that are mixed, opened and integrated. A unidirectionally elastic laminated non-woven fabric having a uniform external appearance is obtained by applying a high pressure fluid flow from the discontinuous fiber web side and entangling the cotton fibers with the polyester discontinuous fibers, and entangling the cotton fibers and the polyester discontinuous fibers with the elastic net.

An aliphatic high-molecular polyester which can be degraded by microbes present in soil and can be utilized for producing molded articles. It has a unit structure represented by formula (I) or a similar structure.
Abstract:
A reagent for assaying magnesium ion by utilizing the fact that a complex of a magnesium ion with adenosine 5'-triphosphate serves as a substrate for glucokinase originating in a bacterium of the genus Zymomonas. This reagent has such a wide range of assay that it can assay magnesium ions present in a variety of specimens, such as bodily fluids of living organisms and foods, and magnesium ions contained in a low concentration in the specimen reliably with high accuracy. Further it has a good operability because of a reduction in the step of diluting the specimen, so that it has a satisfactory performance in the routine assay of magnesium ion.
Abstract:

A process for the manufacture of the moisture permeable polyester-based elastomer film is disclosed. A moisture permeable waterproof fabric comprising a the polyester-based elastomer film laminated to a fiber fabric is further provided.
Abstract:
A security yarn which is inconspicuous, prevents from being removed, can be attached to an article having a shape that conventionally refuses the attaching, and is expanded in range of applications, the yarn comprising; a core material consisting of a soft magnetic fiber (1) or a soft magnetic fiber and a wadding (4), and cover materials (2, 3) each consisting of a non-metallic material for convering the core material; a core material consisting of a soft magnetic fiber or a soft magnetic fiber and a wadding, and a semi-hard magnetic material (10) covered with a cover material; or a core material consisting of a soft magnetic fiber or a soft magnetic fiber and a wadding, and a fusion-deposition fiber (9) covered with a cover material.
Abstract:
An air-cleaning filter made by supporting at least one member selected from the group consisting of: (a) an alkaline agent selected from alkali metal hydroxides and carbonates; (b) an acidifying agent selected between aluminium hydrogenphosphate and phosphoric acid; and (c) an oxidizing agent comprising an alkali iodate and active manganese dioxide formed from an alkali permanganate, a combination of components (a) and (c), or a combination of components (b) and (c) on a carrier comprising a web of activated carbon fibers, and covering integrally one or both sides of the resulting assembly with nonwoven fabric.
Abstract:
A nonwoven fabric having a good processability in heat welding and suitable as the material of interlinings or cushions, and a binder fiber to be used for producing the fabric. The fiber is one made from an ELEMENT -caprolactone copolyester fiber having a melting point of 100 DEG C or above. The fabric comprises matrix fibers bonded to each other with the binder fibers by point bonding. The fabric is soft to the touch and excellent in the resistance to fatigue deformation when used for long or in a high-temperature atmosphere.
Abstract:
A nonwoven cloth (6) of ultrafine fibers having high bulkiness, heat retaining property and tensile strength. A thermoplastic polymer component A is provided. A thermoplastic polymer component (B) non-compatible with respect to the component A and having a melting point higher than that of the component A by 30 -180 C is provided. A fiber web is formed by accumulating long composite fibers obtained by a bicomponent melt spinning method using the components A, B with at least the component A exposed on the outer surfaces of the fibers. The component A only is then softened or melted by applying heat to predetermined regions of the fiber web in the direction of the thickness thereof, so that the long composite fibers are fused together. A fiber fleece (5) having predetermined regions spaced in a dotted or latticed state is obtained. This fiber fleece (5) is subjected to a rubbing step. The long composite fibers existing in the non-fused region (12) are divided so that the fiber dividing rate reaches a predetermined level, to produce fibers A consisting of the component A alone and fibers B consisting of the component B alone.
