  • Publication number: 20200165163
    Abstract: A transparent heat-shielding/heat-insulating member including a transparent base substrate and a functional layer formed on the transparent base substrate. The functional layer includes an infrared reflective layer and a protective layer in this order from the transparent base substrate side. The infrared reflective layer includes a first metal suboxide layer or metal oxide layer, a metal layer, and a second metal suboxide layer or metal oxide layer in this order from the transparent base substrate side. The total thickness of the infrared reflective layer is ?25 nm. The thickness of the second metal suboxide layer or metal oxide layer is ?25% of the total thickness of the infrared reflective layer. The protective layer contains a single layer or multiple layers. At least the layer of the protective layer that is in contact with the second metal suboxide layer or metal oxide layer includes a corrosion inhibitor for metal.

  • Publication number: 20060205844
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion containing a water-insoluble solid, wherein the solid consists of fine particles surfaces of which are coated with a resin having a polyether structure, and a coated amount of the resin is 15 to 1,000 parts by weight per 100 parts of the solid. This aqueous dispersion has improved dispersion stability for various solids such as pigments, dyes, and so on, causes no problems such as precipitation of the solid particles during the storage of the dispersion, and thus can be stably stored for a long time. The present invention can provide an aqueous dispersion used as an ink-jet printing ink, which has good high speed printing properties besides the above properties.
