Abstract:
In a method of making artificial leathers and other water vapor permeable flexible sheet materials, a layer of polymer-containing mixture adhering to a temporary support is coagulated by suitable liquid treatment, dried, and then stripped from the support.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a porous fluorine-containing polymer membrane is provided, which includes mixing a fluorine-containing polymer, a pore creating agent, and a solvent to form a mixture; forming a membrane of the mixture, and removing the pore creating agent and the solvent in the membrane to form the porous fluorine-containing polymer film. The pore creating agent has a chemical formula of wherein R1 is a C1-8 alkyl group, a C2-8 alkenyl group, a C2-8 alkynyl group, or a C6-12 aromatic group, and A⊖ is hydrogen sulfite ion, dihydrogen phosphate ion, nitrate ion, halogen ion, or a combination thereof. The solvent has a chemical formula of

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.
Abstract:
The present invention describes hybrid gel materials with interpenetrating polyisocyanate and inorganic polymer networks. In the preferred embodiments, the polyisocyanate network comprises polyurea, polyurethane or both while the inorganic network comprises silica.
Abstract:
A method for the manufacture of a solid porous separation material based on a polysaccharide, said method comprising the steps of: (a) providing an aqueous solution (I) of a polysaccharide, (b) solidifying the solution, preferably by transforming the solution to a gel, and (c) optionally cross-linking the polysaccharide, with the proviso that, if step (c) is present, steps (b) and (c) may be carried out simultaneously. The method is characterised in that the polysaccharide provided in step (a) is modified by being inter-molecularly cross-linked to an extent such that the viscosity of solution (I) is at least 110%, preferably at least 200%, of the viscosity of an aqueous solution (II) of the corresponding polysaccharide which has not been inter-molecularly cross-linked and which is present in the same concentration as the inter-molecularly cross-linked polysaccharide is in solution (I).
