  • Patent number: 11970562
    Abstract: A phase difference film composed of a resin containing a copolymer including polymerization units A and B, the phase difference film including a cylindrical phase separation structure that generates a structural birefringence, the phase separation structure including a phase (A) having the polymerization unit A as a main component and a phase (B) having the polymerization unit B as a main component, and the phase difference film satisfying the following condition (1) or (2). Condition (1): D(A)>D(B) and f(B)>0.5, and a direction giving a maximum refractive index among in-plane directions and an orientation direction of a cylinder in the phase separation structure are parallel to each other. Condition (2): D(A)>D(B) and f(A)>0.5, and a direction giving a maximum refractive index among in-plane directions and an orientation direction of a cylinder in the phase separation structure are orthogonal to each other.

  • Publication number: 20230219777
    Abstract: A conveying belt has a cylindrical base layer, and a surface layer that is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the base layer. The base layer contains polyimide or polyamide-imide, and has an elastic modulus from 3-7 GPa, inclusive. The surface layer is configured as a cured object from a resin composition that contains a fluororesin having a hydroxy group, an isocyanate curing agent, and a silicone copolymer. The silicone copolymer is a copolymer containing a silicone unit and another kind of unit not having a siloxane skeleton, has a hydroxy group, and contains siloxane units in a proportion of at least 95 mol% and less than 100 mol%, or from 40-70 mol%, inclusive. The silicone copolymer content in the resin composition is 1-5 parts by mass, inclusive, relative to a total 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin and the isocyanate curing agent.
