  • Publication number: 20240017522
    Abstract: A sheet (10) for a mask has a first fiber layer (11) and a second fiber layer (12). The second fiber layer (12) has a higher trapping ratio for particles having a particle diameter exceeding 1 ?m and/or a smaller average fiber diameter than the first fiber layer (11). The basis weight of the second fiber layer (12) is from 1 to 20 g/m2. In a natural state, the second fiber layer (12) has a plurality of projections (13) projecting toward a surface of the second fiber layer (12) that is opposite to a surface of the second fiber layer (12) facing the first fiber layer (11) and depressions (14) that are each arranged between corresponding projections (13) of the plurality of projections (13). The depressions (14) have joined portions (15) where the second fiber layer (12) and the first fiber layer (11) are joined to each other.

  • Publication number: 20230270632
    Abstract: A skin-attaching sheet including an attaching portion configured for attaching to skin. The attaching portion includes a color-changeable layer that changes color following exposure to ultraviolet rays, and the attaching portion has a color difference (?E*ab) in an L*a*b* color system between before exposure and 10 seconds after exposure of 5 or more and 300 or less in a standard exposure test in which the attaching portion is exposed to ultraviolet rays in a moist state.

  • Patent number: 11590560
    Abstract: A structure for manufacturing castings, containing an inorganic fiber, a layered clay mineral, and an inorganic particle other than the layered clay mineral and having an organic content of 5 mass % or lower or having a mass loss of 5 mass % or lower when heated at 1000° C. for 30 minutes. The inorganic particle preferably contains one or more selected from obsidian, graphite, and mullite. The inorganic fiber preferably contains carbon fiber. The inorganic fiber preferably has an average length of 0.5 to 15 mm. The layered clay mineral preferably contains one or more selected from bentonite and montmorillonite.

  • Publication number: 20150289961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive sheet for teeth which has high safety and makes it possible to obtain excellent tooth whitening effect and tooth gloss effect by a simple means of just being attached to teeth. The adhesive sheet for teeth comprises: a layer (A) that has a pH of 6.6 or more and 10.5 or less when the layer (A) is dissolved in water, and a layer (B) that comprises a component (b) of one or more kinds selected from phytic acid, hexamethaphosphoric acid, an organic acid having a pKa of 4.5 to 7.0 at 25° C. and salts thereof, and that has a pH of 3.5 or more and 6.5 or less when the layer (B) is dissolved in water.

  • Publication number: 20120237761
    Abstract: A membrane structure contains cellulose microfibers and an inorganic layered compound. The cellulose constituting the cellulose microfibers has a carboxyl content of 0.1 to 3 mmol/g. The mass ratio of the inorganic layered compound to the cellulose microfibers is 0.01 to 100. The inorganic layered compound preferably has an average particle size of 0.01 to 10 ?m and has an amount of charge of 1 to 1000 eq/g. The membrane structure is preferably prepared by using an aqueous dispersion containing cellulose microfibers having a carboxyl content of 0.1 to 3 mmol/g, an inorganic layered compound, and a basic substance.
