Abstract: An organic electroluminescence device (1) includes: an anode (3); a cathode (4); and an emitting layer (5) provided between the anode (3) and the cathode (4). The emitting layer contains a first host, a second host and a phosphorescent dopant. A triplet energy of each of the first host and the second host is 2.8 eV or more. An ionization potential of the first host is 5.5 eV or less. An affinity Af1 of the first host is smaller than an affinity Af2 of the second host.

Abstract: A method for detoxifying a filter including the step of subjecting a filter with a hardly decomposable substance adhering thereto to chemical decomposition without desorbing the hardly decomposable substance from the filter.

Abstract: Provided is a lubricating oil composition for sizing excellent in machinability and rust preventing properties. A lubricating oil composition for sizing, including (A) a lubricating base oil having a kinematic viscosity of 0.5 to 150 mm2/s at 40° C., and compounded therein (B) as an extreme-pressure and rust preventing agent, a high basic Casulfonate in an amount of 5 to 80% by mass, (C) as a rust preventing agent, a neutral Ba sulfonate and/or a fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol in an amount of 0.5 to 30% by mass, (D) as a metal deactivator, a benzotriazole compound and/or thiadiazole compound in an amount of 0.005 to 10% by mass, and (E) an anti-oxidizing agent in an amount of 0.05 to 10% by mass, each based on a total amount of the composition.

Abstract: Provided are a coloration agent for carbonyl sulfide which contains a metal oxide, and at least one metal component selected from among a cerium component, a silver component, a copper component, a nickel component, and an iron component, the metal component being supported on the metal oxide, or which contains at least one metal oxide selected from among a cerium oxide, a silver oxide, a copper oxide, a nickel oxide, and an iron oxide; carbonyl sulfide detection means including the coloration agent for carbonyl sulfide; and a fuel cell system including the detection means. The coloration agent for carbonyl sulfide has the ability to develop a color in the presence of carbonyl sulfide even at ambient temperature, exhibits excellent performance in detecting carbonyl sulfide contained in a hydrocarbon fuel, and enables the service life of a desulfurizing agent to be determined through visual observation.

Abstract: A branched polycarbonate resin prepared from a divalent phenol, a carbonate precursor, a branching agent, and a chain terminating agent is provided, in which the branching agent is composed of a trisphenol compound represented by the general formula (I). The use of the branching agent brings about excellent washability and permits molding which barely suffers from sagging (blow down) of the melt or stringiness thereof and is accompanied with high melt tension and excellent moldability, thus enabling efficient production of good molded products at high productivity.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device including a cathode 50, an anode 20, and an emitting layer interposed between the cathode 50 and the anode 20, at least a part of the anode 20 in contact with the emitting layer 40 containing at least one element selected from lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, samarium, and europium, and at least one element selected from chromium, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, silver, palladium, copper, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, platinum, and silicon. Since holes are efficiently injected into the emitting layer from the anode, the drive voltage of the organic EL device can be decreased, whereby the lifetime of the organic EL device can be increased.

Abstract: The invention provides a lube oil which exhibits low vapor pressure despite having low viscosity, is non-flammable, exhibits excellent heat resistance, has tribological characteristics equivalent to those of conventional hydrocarbon-based lube oils, and can be used for a long time under very severe conditions such as high temperature and vacuum. The lube oil contains, as a base oil, an ionic liquid formed of a cation and an anion and having an ion concentration of 1 mol/dm3 or more.

Abstract: The present invention provides antioxidants made of an aromatic hydroxyamine derivative having a structure represented by the general formula (I): wherein R1, R2 and R3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; X is a hydrogen atom or an OH group; Y is a hydrogen atom or an NHR1 group; A is a direct bond, —O—, —NH—, —SO2—, —CH2— or —C(CH3)2—, and when an OH group and an NHR1 group are introduced to a unilateral benzene ring, these groups are respectively bonded to adjacent positions of the benzene ring; and n is 0 or 1 with the proviso that when n is 0, R1 is not a hydrogen atom, as well as bisaminophenol derivatives represented by the above general formula (I) wherein n is 1; R2 and R3 are each a hydrogen atom; X is an OH group; Y is an NHR1 group; A is —C(CH3)2—; and R1 is isopropyl, isobutyl or isohexyl.
