Abstract: A sound absorbing device for a moving body includes a resonance tube, a variable elastic membrane, and an adjustment part. The resonance tube has a pipeline, one end portion of which is disposed to face an indoor space. The variable elastic membrane has one surface disposed so as to face an indoor space and the other surface disposed so as to face an internal space of other end portion of the resonance tube. The adjustment part adjusts an elastic modulus of the variable elastic membrane.

Abstract: An aqueous paint which exhibits improved dispersion property in the water and dispersion stability, has a low viscosity enabling the painting operation to be efficiently carried out, and cures at low temperatures within short periods of time to form a coating which after cured exhibits high degree of workability, high corrosion resistance, and elutes out little into the content. The aqueous paint comprises an epoxy acrylate resin prepared by modifying, with a (meth)acrylic monomer, a copolymerized epoxy resin having a number average molecular weight of 8,000 to 15,000 and containing, as phenolic components, a bisphenol-A component and a bisphenol-F component at a molar ratio of from 5:5 to 8:2, and a curing agent of a thermosetting resin having a methylol group.

Abstract: An adhesion structure in which the gel of an acrylic plastisol is strongly adhered to the metallic base material, featuring excellent resistance against corrosion and exhibiting small whitening tendency even under severe conditions for treatment with hot water such as retort processing, and a method of producing the same structure. The acrylic plastisol is applied onto the metallic base material or onto the metallic base material having an organic coating provided with a layer of a thermosetting resin which contains a bisphenol-type epoxy resin and a phenolic resin at a weight ratio of from 99:1 to 85:15, and is gelled by heating and is, at the same time, adhered to the base material via the thermosetting resin layer. The acrylic plastisol is gelled and is strongly adhered onto the thermosetting resin layer within short periods of time. The obtained adhesion structure exhibits excellent resistance against peeling, corrosion and retorting.

Abstract: An acrylic resin plastisol composition that forms coatings or molded articles having excellent anticreep property. The plastisol composition maintains excellent fluidity required for the coating and molding even after preserved for extended periods of time and further exhibits excellent gelation property upon heating, enabling the obtained coating or the molded article to exhibit excellent resistance against the relaxation of stress. The plastisol composition comprises a dispersing medium composed chiefly of a plasticizer and acrylic resin grains dispersed in said dispersing medium, wherein said acrylic resin grains have a functional group selected from the group consisting of carboxyl group, hydroxyl group, epoxy group, methylol group and etherified methylol group, and said dispersing medium contains a crosslinking agent that has reactivity to said functional group in a state of being at least partly solubilized in said dispersing medium.

Abstract: An o/w water paint having excellent dispersibility and stability is prepared according to a phase conversion process comprising adding ammonia or an amine and water to a solution of an epoxy resin, a hardener resin, and an acrylic resin in an organic solvent or to a molten mixture of these resins to neutralize the acrylic resin. In view of adhesion of a coat to metal and workability, branched alkylamines or heterocyclic amines are suitable as the neutralizing amines. In applying this paint, steam optionally containing fine water droplets is preferably applied to a wet coat prior to drying. Furthermore, a process for the continuous production of an emulsion type water paint comprising a carboxyl group-containing acrylic resin component, an epoxy resin component and a curing agent resin component for the epoxy resin is disclosed.
