  • Publication number: 20190033503
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a light-modulating member which restrains incidence of sunlight into a room in summer and does not restrain incidence of sunlight into a room in winter, and is also easily used as a member for window. The present invention relates to a light-modulating member produced by arranging one or a plurality of shaped resin sheets having projections on one surface, wherein the projection has a height of 1 ?m or more and 1 cm or less and a pitch interval of 10 ?m or more and 10 cm or less.

  • Publication number: 20070177262
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transmissive screen having as a member an extruded resin sheet (A) obtained by extrusion of a transparent resin (P) in a heat melt state from a die (D) in one direction, and provides a transmissive screen, wherein in the case where the extruded resin sheet (A) is subjected to a heating test of maintaining the resin sheet at 150° C. for 1 hour, the shrinkage factor (S) in the extrusion direction evaluated from Equation (1): S=(L0?L1)/L0×100??(1) wherein S represents the shrinkage factor (%) in the extrusion direction, L0 represents the length (mm) in the extrusion direction prior to the heating test, and L1 represents the length (mm) in the extrusion direction after the heating test, satisfies Equation (2): 2/X?S?18/X??(2) wherein S means the same as S in Equation (1), and X represents the sheet thickness (mm) of the extruded resin sheet (A).

  • Patent number: 6927257
    Abstract: A resin composition comprising (A) an elastomeric copolymer which comprises styrene monomeric units and diene monomeric units, and (B) a copolymer which comprises styrene monomeric units and (meth)acrylate monomeric units, which has a saturated water absorption of 0.8% or less at a temperature of 60° C. and a relative humidity of 90%, a flexural modulus of at least 1,800 MPa, a notched Izod impact strength of at least 2 kJ/m2, a total light transmittance of at least 85% and a haze value of 5% or less when providing a sheet having a thickness of 2 mm, and a Vicat softening point of at least 90° C. This resin composition can suitably be used as a base material of a sheet for a screen which has good transparency, suffers from less deformation such as warp or deflection, and is hardly cracked or chipped.

  • Publication number: 20040154734
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for producing a thermoplastic resin continuous laminated sheet are provided. The continuous laminated sheet has at least one thermoplastic resin continuous film laminated on a thermoplastic resin continuous sheet by heat welding, and can be produced by a method comprising extruding a heat-fused thermoplastic resin continuously to be in a sheet form; rolling the extruded resin to form a thermoplastic resin continuous sheet; heating at least one lamination surface of the sheet while flatly holding the sheet; and laminating at least one thermoplastic resin continuous film onto the heated sheet.
