摘要:
An abrasive that can impart a mirror finish, glossiness, or the like to a surface of a workpiece by blasting is provided. A crosslinked polyrotaxane compound having a network structure where crosslinking points are circular molecules of polyrotaxane and also having abrasive grains dispersedly mixed therein is obtained by causing chemical bonding between the circular molecules of the polyrotaxane in a state where the abrasive grains and the polyrotaxane are mixed. Then, the crosslinked polyrotaxane compound is granulated to a predetermined grain diameter to obtain a gel-like abrasive where a part of the dispersedly mixed abrasive grain is exposed at the surface. By using the thus-obtained gel-like abrasive in blasting by projecting the abrasive at an angle tilted with respect to a surface of a workpiece, mirror finishing or the like is possible without making the surface of the workpiece pearskin-like.

摘要:
A polyrotaxane which has enhanced solubility and is soluble in various solvents, 2) a polyrotaxane which is reversibly responsive to an external stimulus, 3) a chemically crosslinked polyrotaxane which has a high Young's modulus and a high elongation and has a high transmittance, and/or 4) a chemically crosslinked polyrotaxane which is reversibly responsive to an external stimulus; and/or a material containing any of these; and/or processes for producing these. The polyrotaxanes each comprises: a pseudo-polyrotaxane having a structure constituted of cyclic molecules and a linear molecule with which the holes of the cyclic molecules are pierced to form a clathrate; and a blocking group disposed at each end of the pseudo-polyrotaxane so as to prevent the cyclic molecules from leaving. The cyclic molecules have a functional group represented by the following formula (I) and at least one functional group selected among functional groups represented by the following formulae (II-1) to (II-6).
摘要:
An actuator includes a spirally rolled cylindrical sheet body. The sheet body is formed by attaching an electrode on each side of a dielectric elastomer layer. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, the sheet body is contracted along the direction of its thickness, and expanded in directions perpendicular to its thickness. The actuator is actuated by applying a voltage to the electrodes and stopping the voltage application, so that the cylindrical sheet body is extended and contracted along the direction of the axis. The material forming the dielectric elastomer layer has a low strain region, where the value of a strain based on a stress acting on the dielectric elastomer layer varies from zero to a value that is greater than and close to zero, and a high strain region, where the value of the strain is greater than that in the low strain region. The Young's modulus in the low strain region is less than the Young's modulus in the high strain region.

The present invention aims to provide an industrially advantageous method of producing a powdery pseudopolyrotaxane with a high inclusion ratio. The present invention relates to a method for producing a pseudopolyrotaxane, including: an inclusion step of mixing a polyethylene glycol and a cyclodextrin in an aqueous medium to form an aqueous dispersion of pseudopolyrotaxane that contains pseudopolyrotaxane particles in which the polyethylene glycol is included in the cavities of the cyclodextrin molecules in a skewered manner; and a drying step of drying the aqueous dispersion of pseudopolyrotaxane produced in the inclusion step to obtain the pseudopolyrotaxane. In the drying step, the aqueous dispersion of pseudopolyrotaxane is sprayed and dried in a heated gas-stream.
