Abstract:
A charge mosaic membrane having excellent selective permeability comprises a cationic polymer component, an anionic polymer component and a matrix component. Both of the cationic polymer component and the anionic polymer component are crosslinked particulate polymers. The matrix component is at least one polymer selected from a polysulfone resin, a polyarylate resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a polyamideimide resin, a polyurethane resin, a fluorinated resin or a silicone resin. The charge mosaic membrane can be easily produced by conducting formation of the membrane by using a composition in which the cationic polymer component and the anionic polymer component are both dispersed in a solution of the matrix component in an organic solvent.

This pneumatic tire has a plurality of films disposed in the manner of fish scales in at least a region corresponding to a tread portion of an inner surface of the tire, each of the films being partially fixed on the inner surface of the tire, the fixed portions of the films being covered by the non-fixed portions of the other films.
Abstract:
A charge mosaic membrane is made of a cationic polymer and an anionic polymer. At least one of the cationic and anionic polymers is in the form of spheres having a diameter of 0.01-10 .mu.m. A process for the production of the charge mosaic membrane is also described.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a pneumatic tire, which exhibits excellent puncture-preventing function while avoiding inconvenience aroused when a sealant layer is formed based on decomposition reaction of polyisobutylene, a process for producing the same and a sealant rubber composition. This pneumatic tire is provided with the sealant layer in a region of the inner surface of the tire which corresponds at least to a tread. The sealant layer is made of an adhesive sealant obtained by heating a rubber composition containing 0.2 to 20 parts by weight of peroxide per 100 parts by weight of a rubber ingredient containing not less than 50 wt. % of polyisobutylene. 5 to 50 parts by weight of a liquid ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, liquid polybutadiene or liquid polyisoprene are added as an adhesive of the sealant layer.

Abstract:
A pneumatic tire of which self-seal function can be improved while the increase in weight of the tire is minimized. The pneumatic tire having an adhesive sealant layer in the region corresponding to at least a tread portion on the inner side of the tire, the adhesive sealant layer being constituted from a rubber composition containing a rubber component to be decomposed by peroxide and 0.2 to 20 parts by weight of peroxide per 100 parts by weight of the rubber component, in which fibrillated short fibers with an average length of 100 to 5000 μm are mixed and scattered.
Abstract:
An ion-selective membrane is formed integrally of an ion-selective membrane forming component and a woven-fabric-shaped backing. The ion-selective membrane forming component comprises a cationic polymer component and/or an anionic polymer component and a matrix component. Each of the ionic polymer components is a particulate polymer having an average particle size in a range of from 0.01 to 10 &mgr;m. The woven-fabric-shaped backing has a meshed structure. The ion-selective membrane can be produced by forming it while maintaining a layer of a coating formulation, in which the ionic polymer component is dispersed in a solution or dispersion of the matrix component in an organic solvent, in close contact with the woven-fabric-shaped backing. The ion-selective membrane is useful for the permeation of an electrolyte. An apparatus provided with the ion-selective membrane is also provided.
