Abstract: The invention relates to a separator for use in a nonaqueous-electrolyte secondary battery, and a nonaqueous-electrolyte secondary battery employing the separator, the separator comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode which are capable of occluding and releasing lithium, a separator, and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution comprising a nonaqueous solvent and an electrolyte, the separator for use in the battery having an electroconductive layer, the electroconductive layer having (1) an apparent volume resistivity of 1×10?4 ?·cm to 1×106 ?·cm, or (2) a volume resistivity of 1×10?6 ?·cm to 1×106 ?·cm, or (3) a surface electrical resistance of 1×10?2? to 1×109?, and the electroconductive layer having a film thickness less than 5 ?m. The invention further relates to.

Abstract: To provide a tomato juice-containing alcoholic drink that has improved flavor qualities and shows regulated sedimentation and color change and a method of the production of the same. Provided is a method of the production of a tomato juice-containing alcoholic drink that comprises the following steps (a) to (c): (a) a step of producing a lactic acid-fermented tomato liquid that comprises fermenting a tomato juice-containing liquid by using a lactic acid bacterium and thus increasing lactic acid in the liquid; (b) a step of producing a clear tomato juice that comprises enzymatically treating a tomato juice and filtering the same; and (c) a step of mixing the lactic acid-fermented tomato liquid, the clear tomato juice and an alcohol; optionally followed, if desired, by the following step (d), (d) a step of adding stabilized lycopene.

Abstract: An anti-contamination coating composition is obtained by mixing a tetraalkoxysilane condensate having an average condensation degree of 4 to 20 and has an alkyl group having 1 to 2 carbon atoms and an alkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and an alkyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, the alkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms or 4 to 12 carbon atoms present in the amount of 5 to 50% by equivalent based on all alkyl groups in the condensate, with a polyurethane resin, an acrylic copolymer resin or a silicone-acrylic copolymer resin in the amount of 1.0 to 40.0 parts by weight in term of SiO2 relative to 100 parts by weight of the polyol compound. The addition of a hydrophilic alkoxysilane having a poly alkylene oxide chain compound is also suitable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating composition, which forms an anti-contamination coat having hydrophilicity on the surface, soil-release effect and excellent stain resistance to oil, and which is also suitable for outside wall coating of buildings, having excellent interlaminar adhesion when multiple coating is performed. A conventional anti-contamination coating was insufficient in stainproofing performance immediately after formation of the coat, and there was no coating which is superior in stain resistance to oil and interlaminar adhesion.
