  • Publication number: 20240079575
    Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery including a negative electrode, a positive electrode, a separation layer in contact with an active material-containing layer of the negative electrode, and an aqueous electrolyte. A first concentration corresponding to a first metal concentration represented by Equation 1 (first metal concentration=atomic concentration of Hg, Pb, Zn, and/or Bi/sum of atomic concentrations of elements B to U in periodic table, excluding carbon and oxygen) in a boundary region between the active material-containing layer and the separation layer is 2% or more and 8.2% or less. A ratio of the first concentration to a second concentration corresponding to the first metal concentration represented by Equation 1 in the active material-containing layer excluding the boundary region is 2.5 or more and less than 4.

  • Patent number: 6310137
    Abstract: A multilayered acrylic polymer comprising an innermost layer polymer (A) formed from a C1-4 alkyl methacrylate, a C1-8 alkyl acrylate, etc., an intermediate layer polymer (B) formed from a C1-8 alkyl acrylate, an aromatic vinyl monomer, etc., and an outermost layer polymer (C) formed from a C1-4 alkyl methacrylate, a C1-8 alkyl acrylate, etc., and wherein the average value of the coating ratio, i.e. [(minimum thickness of the intermediate layer)÷(maximum thickness of the intermediate layer)]×100, is not less than 30%; and a methacrylic resin composition containing the same. This multilayered acrylic polymer can improve the falling-ball or falling-weight impact strength, resistance to impact whitening, transparency and other properties of the methacrylic resin composition.

  • Patent number: 5521252
    Abstract: Acrylic multilayer polymer powders containing coagulated powders of emulsified latexes of acrylic multilayer polymers, which are suitable for drying methods using pressure dehydration extruders, etc, comprises not more than 40 wt % of a fine powder of a particle size of 212 .mu.m or less after drying, and have a volume of gaps of a pore size of 5 .mu.m or less after drying of not more than 0.7 cc per unit weight as measured by a mercurial pressure method. A desired monomer is subjected to emulsion polymerization to produce an emulsified latex of an acrylic multilayer polymer, which is then poured into a coagulating solution for coagulation.
