Abstract:
The present invention provides thermo-expansive microspheres comprising thermoplastic resinous shell and a blowing agent being encapsulated in the shell, the blowing agent which is a fluorine-containing C2-10 compound having ether linkage, being free of chlorine and bromine atoms and gasifying at a temperature not higher than the softening point of the thermoplastic resin; and also provides the production and application processes thereof. The thermo-expansive microspheres have preferably an average particle size ranging from 1 to 100 μm and a CV, or coefficient of variation, of particle size distribution being 30% or less, and a retaining ratio of blowing agent encapsulated being 90% or more. The thermo-expansive microspheres have low environmental loading and superior flame-retardant or flame-resistant performance, and have particle sizes distributing in narrow ranges. Those thermo-expansive microspheres and foamed hollow microspheres are suitable for applying to fire-proof paints, flame-retardant or flame-resistant thermo-insulating materials, flame-retardant or flame-resistant lightweight fillers, and flame-retardant or flame-resistant lightweight molded products, in addition to the conventional application field.
Abstract:
A hollow fiber blood-processing device comprises a bundle of hollow fibers and is sealed in a gas-impermeable container together with a deoxidizer of a water-releasing type and radiation sterilized. The blood processing device is produced by a method comprising the steps of sealing a hollow fiber blood-processing device in a gas-impermeable container together with a deoxidizer of a water-releasing type, and radiation sterilizing the blood-processing device held in the sealed gas-impermeable container.
Abstract:
Method for a continuous recirculating peritoneal dialysis wherein the peritoneal dialysis fluid is infused into a peritoneal cavity of a patient and then, typically on a continuous process basis a portion of the dialysis fluid is sequentially drained from the cavity, cleansed through an extracorpreal dialyzer, and reinfused into the cavity. The dialysis fluid contains as an osmotic agent a substance which does not substantially permeate through pores of hollow fiber membrane of an extracorporeal dialyzer, preferably an osmotic agent having a molecular weight of about 20,000 to about 100,000. The supplemented amount of the osmotic agent is reduced or not needed during the dialysis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a heat-expandable microcapsule produced from acrylonitrile and N-substituted maleimide as the main polymerizable monomers, or further a monomer giving a hompolymer having a Tg of 50 to 200° C. and polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid (including anhydrides), resin foam using this, and a process for producing a foamed resin composite. The present invention can provide a heat-expandable microcapsule that is less apt to color even upon thermal expansion at 200° C. or higher, and a resin foam and a foamed resin composite capable of forming a processed surface, e.g., a matte surface giving a bulky feeling, by using this microcapsule.
Abstract:
An adhesive tape comprising a water impermeable, gas permeable tape substrate, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on one side of the tape substrate, and a porous sheet provided on a portion of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the porous sheet being capable of expanding to have an apparent density of 0.01 to 0.20 g/cm.sup.3 when absorbing water to saturation. The adhesive tape prevents the accumulation of perspiration between the adhesive tape and the skin of a user on which the adhesive tape is being applied and, hence, is not readily peeled off from the skin. The porous sheet expands upon absorbing blood from a wound to press against the wound, resulting in an enhanced hemostasis effect.

Abstract:
An electromechanical transducer element includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a piezoelectric material. The piezoelectric material is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode and deformable with a voltage applied in accordance with a drive signal. The piezoelectric material is made of a composite oxide having a perovskite structure preferentially oriented in at least one of a (100) plane and a (001) plane. A drop in diffraction intensity is included in a rocking curve corresponding to at least one of a (200) plane and a (002) plane measured at a position of 2θ where the diffraction intensity is largest at a peak of diffraction intensity corresponding to the (200) plane out of peaks of diffraction intensity measured by an X-ray diffraction 0-20 method.
