  • Patent number: 7666926
    Abstract: A method of making a photocatalytic material comprising a base substance and photocatalytic particles bonded on the base substance by chemical bonding through a silane compound. The chemical bonding is bonding a reactive group of the silane compound through graft polymerization to a radical produced on a resin surface of the base substance by irradiating radiation ray. The resulting photocatalytic material has the advantage that, even when used over a long time, the photocatalytic particles are less apt to shed and the resin base is less apt to deteriorate.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7585903
    Abstract: A photocatalytic material which comprises a resin base and photocatalyst particles tenaciously deposited thereon in such a manner that the function of the photocatalyst is not impaired. Even when the photocatalytic material is used over long, the photocatalyst particles are less apt to shed and the resin base is less apt to deteriorate. In the photocatalytic material, the photocatalyst particles have been bonded to the base by chemical bonding through a silane compound. The photocatalytic material is characterized in that the chemical bonding through a silane compound is bonding by graft polymerization, and that the graft polymerization is radiation-induced graft polymerization.

  • Patent number: 5981408
    Abstract: A screen textile material for high precision and high density screen printing is made of a core and sheath type conjugate fiber in which a core component is formed of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polyester (A polymer) and a sheath component is formed by blending a flexible thermoplastic polymer (B polymer) and a thermotropic liquid crystalline polyester (C type) with a blending ratio of the C polymer of 0.15 to 0.45. The core and sheath type conjugate fiber has a specific color specification values to perform high quality printing by prevention of halation.
