  • Publication number: 20200190221
    Abstract: A sulfated cellulose fiber having a cellulose I crystal structure is provided. A chemically modified cellulose fiber which has a cellulose I crystal and in which some hydroxyl groups of cellulose are substituted with a substituent represented by formula (1). An amount of the substituent introduced is 0.1 mmol to 3.0 mmol per 1 g of the chemically modified cellulose fiber, and an average degree of polymerization is 350 or more. (In formula (1), M represents a monovalent to trivalent cation.)

  • Publication number: 20180208057
    Abstract: Since a gap is formed between a cylindrical member of a second clutch and a differential case so that the differential case is movable relative to the cylindrical member in a rotation-axis-C direction, even if a position of the second clutch relative to a differential carrier is moved by a position adjusting shim, the differential case does not move in the rotation-axis-C direction due to the gap in conjunction with the movement of the position of the second clutch, that is, in conjunction with a movement of a position of the cylindrical member. Accordingly, it possible to largely reduce the number of managing components prepared to eliminate backlash of the rotational member such as the differential case, as compared to the related art.
