摘要:
A waterproof sound-permeable membrane (10) includes a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane (20). The PTFE membrane (20) is obtained by stretching a PTFE sheet so as to obtain a porous PTFE membrane having a porous structure including a plurality of fibrils and pores between the plurality of fibrils and then applying a pressure to only a region of one principal surface of the porous PTFE membrane in a thickness direction of the porous PTFE membrane or by applying a greater pressure to a region of one principal surface of the porous PTFE membrane than to a remaining region of the one principal surface other than the region to which the greater pressure is applied, in the thickness direction of the porous PTFE membrane. The PTFE membrane (20) has a low-density portion (21) having the porous structure and a high-density portion (22) having a lower porosity than the low-density portion (21).

Provided is a sliding member having excellent adhesion and slidability suitable for use as a transfer pad in an image forming apparatus. A sliding member (10) includes a porous body (1) that is a sintered body of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) particles and having a surface of the porous body (1) as a sliding surface (5). The sliding surface (5) has a particle occupation ratio of 50% or less, and a surface roughness Ra of 2.0 µm or less. The sliding member (10) can be obtained by heating the porous body obtained by cutting the sintered body of UHMWPE particles to make the sliding surface (5) smoother than before the heating.
摘要:
A heat-resistant release sheet provided is a sheet configured to be disposed, when a resin or a target including a resin is used in a step involving heating and melting of the resin, between the resin or the target and a member to be brought into contact with the resin or the target in the step to prevent direct contact between the resin or the target and the member. The above sheet includes a skived sheet including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or a modified PTFE. A content of a tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) unit in the modified PTFE is 99 mass% or more. In each of two directions being in-plane directions of the heat-resistant release sheet and being perpendicular to each other, a rate of dimensional shrinkage induced by heating at 175°C for 30 minutes is more than 0%. The above sheet includes the skived sheet including the heat-resistant resin but is suitable for preventing, in the above step, occurrence of problems attributable to inclusion of the skived sheet.
摘要:
The polymer film of the present invention has through holes extending from one principal surface of the polymer film to the other principal surface of the polymer film. The through holes are straight holes having a central axis extending straight, and have a shape in which the area of a cross-section perpendicular to the direction of the central axis increases from the one principal surface of the polymer film toward the other principal surface. This polymer film has passages in its thickness direction, has an unconventional structure, and can be used in various applications, such as in a waterproof sound-permeable membrane, in a waterproof gas-permeable membrane, and in a suction sheet. The ratio a/b of the opening diameter a of the through holes at the one principal surface to the opening diameter b of the through holes at the other principal surface is 80% or is less than 80%, for example.

Provides is a waterproof sound-permeable membrane (10) adapted to permit passage of sound and prevent entry of water. The waterproof sound-permeable membrane (10) includes a sound-permeation region (11) having a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane (20). The polytetrafluoroethylene membrane (20) has an average pore diameter of 0.02 µm or more and 0.1 µm or less as measured according to ASTM F316-86 and has a porosity of 5% or more and 25% or less. The waterproof sound-permeable membrane (10) is suitable for application to an electronic device containing an acoustic device.
