Abstract: A fluororesin powder coating composition having high light resistance and being excellent in blocking resistance and smoothness of the coating film when coated, and a fluororesin powder to be used for a powder coating material, are presented. The fluororesin powder coating composition is made by using as the main material resin a composite fluorinated copolymer powder having a core/shell structure wherein core particles are made of a fluorinated copolymer and their surfaces are covered by e.g. a (meth)acrylate resin having a glass transition temperature higher than that of the core particles. The core/shell structure is formed by seed polymerization wherein fluorinated polymer particles are used as seeds.

Abstract: It is to provide a production process by which gelation can be prevented, in a case where a solvent is removed from a curable fluororesin to obtain a chief material resin, and then coating additives such as a curing agent are mixed to produce a powder coating composition, or in a case where a curable fluororesin, a curing agent and various additives are dissolved or dispersed in a solvent to prepare a raw material solution, and the solvent is removed from the raw material solution to directly produce a powder coating material. To a solution or dispersion of a curable fluorinated copolymer (A), a gelation inhibitor (B) is added, followed by mixing, or a gelation inhibitor (B), a curing agent (C) and as the case requires, various additives (D) are added, followed by mixing, and the solution or dispersion is supplied to a thin-film vacuum evaporator to remove the solvent.

Abstract: A semiconductor device which has an internal circuit for performing a circuit operation corresponding to a signal inputted or outputted through an input/output interface circuit adapted to a serial bus. The semiconductor device has a non-volatile storage circuit for storing identification data. Internal identification data stored in the non-volatile storage circuit is compared with external identification data included in an input signal supplied through the serial bus by a comparator circuit. A control circuit is responsive to a match detecting signal generated by the comparator circuit to perform a circuit operation corresponding to an input signal subsequently supplied through the serial bus to change the internal identification data stored in the non-volatile storage circuit.
