  • Publication number: 20150044379
    Abstract: A method for producing a rubber roller includes preparing a rubber composition containing epichlorohydrin rubber and a conductive agent, the epichlorohydrin rubber being an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether ternary copolymer that contains an ethylene oxide-derived structural unit within a range of 40 mol % or more and 60 mol % or less relative to the entire ternary copolymer, and a content of calcium oxide being 1 part by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of the epichlorohydrin rubber; removing a volatile component so that a ratio of the volatile component contained in the rubber composition is 0.8% by weight or less relative to the entire rubber composition; coating a periphery of a core body with the rubber composition to form a rubber composition layer; and vulcanizing the rubber composition layer under atmospheric pressure to form a rubber layer on the periphery of the core body.

  • Publication number: 20150018465
    Abstract: The present invention disclosed herein is a reversible switching system that switches surfaces from being hydrophilic to hydrophobic and vice-versa. More particularly, the invention relates to reversible switching system comprising a positively charged conjugated polymer; a micelle and a hydrocarbon component that is affected by a potential such that the system switches from being super hydrophilic to super hydrophobic due to, the polyvalent interaction between surfactant assemblies and delocalized charges of an insoluble polymer results in surface modification of the polymer. These systems find application in antisticking coating, anticontamination coating and wicking surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8927648
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of making a modified pigment, comprising: reacting, under Mitsunobu conditions: (a) a first reactant comprising a protonated nucleophile having a pKa<15, and (b) a second reactant comprising a hydroxyl-containing organic group, wherein a pigment is attached to either the first or second reactant. The method further comprises forming the modified pigment having attached an organic species comprising the nucleophile bonded to the organic group, with the net elimination of a proton and a hydroxyl. Also disclosed herein are modified pigments, which can have applications in chemical toners, inkjet ink and electrophoretic ink compositions, black matrix materials, color filters, and coatings.

  • Publication number: 20150001322
    Abstract: A method for dispersing a filler having high agglomerating properties in a resin and a micro-dispersing mixer used in the method are provided. Further, a method for producing a sealing material that can avoid a defect caused by agglomerates of a filler (for example, carbon black) in an electronic material such as a semiconductor package, a masterbatch resin produced by the method, and a micro-dispersing mixer used in the method are provided. When a filler is dispersed in a molten resin composition to produce a filler-dispersed molten resin composition, a resin composition containing filler aggregates and a molten resin composition is preliminarily mixed by a mixing means, and, thereafter, the preliminarily mixed mixture is allowed to pass through the micro-dispersing mixer with a fine flow path to disperse the filler in a filler resin composition.
