    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a piston ring covered with a DLC coating that has excellent wear resistance and shows a low attacking property on a cylinder bore sliding surface. The problem is solved by a piston ring which is used in the presence of an engine lubricating oil and includes a DLC coating on an outer peripheral sliding surface. The DLC coating has an sp2 component ratio of 0.5 to 0.85 as determined from a TEM-EELS spectrum obtained by a combination of a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), as well as a coating hardness of 12 GPa to 26 GPa and a Young's modulus of 250 GPa or less as measured by a nanoindentation method.

    Abstract: Provided is a binder that makes it possible to prepare a slurry for an electrode with use of water as a solvent and without causing alkalinization of the slurry for the electrode, even in a case where an electrode active material that is highly prone to hydrolysis is used. The binder contains: a pH adjustment functional agent which neutralizes a base in an aqueous system; and a metal-crosslinking thickening agent forming a hydrophobic gel by being crosslinked, in the aqueous system, via metal ions derived from an electrode active material.

    Abstract: An outer circumferential surface of a piston ring has a cut surface forming a notched portion between an outer circumferential end surface and a lower surface, the cut surface including a first surface between the outer circumferential end surface and a bottom portion, and a second surface between the bottom portion and the lower surface. The second surface is inclined away from a central axis of the piston ring as it extends toward a crank chamber side, an angle of inclination of the second surface with respect to the bottom portion being greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 85°. When an axial width of the piston ring is h1 and a distance in an axial direction between a connecting portion between the cut surface and the outer circumferential end surface and a connecting portion between the cut surface and the lower surface is H, H/h1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.4.
