Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to rechargeable batteries and solid electrolytes therefore which include lithium-stuffed garnet oxides, for example, in a thin film, pellet, or monolith format wherein the density of defects at a surface or surfaces of the solid electrolyte is less than the density of defects in the bulk. In certain disclosed embodiments, the solid-state anolyte, electrolyte, and catholyte thin films, separators, and monoliths consist essentially of an oxide that conducts Li+ ions. In some examples, the disclosure herein presents new and useful solid electrolytes for solid-state or partially solid-state batteries. In some examples, the disclosure presents new lithium-stuffed garnet solid electrolytes and rechargeable batteries which include these electrolytes as separators between a cathode and a lithium metal anode.

Abstract: A polyurethane resin and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The method includes the following steps: mixing a polyester polyol, a polyether polyol, a first chain extender, diisocyanate, and a mixed solvent for polymerization, so as to obtain a prepolymer; and adding a second chain extender into the prepolymer for chain extension, so as to obtain the polyurethane resin. The mixed solvent includes diethylformamide and methyl ethyl ketone, and a mass ratio of the diethylformamide to the methyl ethyl ketone in the mixed solvent ranges from 0.45 to 1.80. Based on a total weight of the polyurethane resin being 100 wt %, a total added amount of the first chain extender and the second chain extender ranges from 0.9 wt % to 2.5 wt %.

Abstract: A plasticizer and a method for manufacturing the plasticizer are provided. The method for manufacturing the plasticizer includes steps as follows: mixing a dicarboxylic acid, a diol, and a catalyst to form a reactant mixture; reacting the reactant mixture at a temperature ranging from 130° C. to 220° C. so as to form a semi-product; adding an endcapping alcohol into the semi-product at a temperature ranging from 205° C. to 220° C. so as to form a coarse plasticizer; purifying the coarse plasticizer under a pressure ranging from 760 Torr to 5 Torr so as to obtain the plasticizer. The dicarboxylic acid includes adipic acid. The diol includes a polyglycol and a saturated fatty alcohol. The endcapping alcohol includes isooctyl alcohol, isodecyl alcohol, or 2-propylheptanol. The dicarboxylic acid, the diol, and the endcapping alcohol have a molar ratio ranging from 1:0.6 to 0.9:0.3 to 0.6.

Abstract: A thermoplastic polyester elastomer conjugate fiber including a core and a sheath is provided. A volume ratio of the core to the sheath is in a range of 4:6 to 6:4.

Abstract: A polyurethane adhesive is formulated using a modified polyurethane copolymer, a curing agent and an antistatic agent, and the modified polyurethane copolymer is grafted a polysiloxane compound to a polyurethane polymer and made by esterifying a polyol, a hydroxyl-containing polysiloxane compound, a multi-functional isocyanate compound and a fatty acid ester; since the polyurethane adhesive is not yellowish and easy to dry as well as has excellent fabricability, air bleeding performance and transparency, when attached to surfaces of an optical or electronic device, the protective film leaves no residue and protects the surface of the device keeping no flaws.

Abstract: A modified bismaleimide resin is made by modify bismaleimide with aromatic diamine that contains fluoro substituents through chain-growth polymerization; and modified bismaleimide resin is excellent in physical properties including a low dielectric constant Dk (3 GHz) less than 3.0, a dissipation factors (3 GHz) less than 0.02, a low resin water absorptivity ranging from 0.21% to 0.33% and an excellent processability, and is particularly suited for producing a copper clad laminate that is required to have dielectric constant Dk (3 GHz) less than 3.
