Abstract: The present invention has the objective of providing an infrared reflective film by means of which it is possible to achieve an effective heat-shielding performance with a smaller number of layers than hitherto using a construction employing specified infrared reflective layers. Solution Means The infrared reflective film of the present invention has at least two infrared reflective layers and, of these infrared reflective layers, the center reflective wavelength of at least one infrared reflective layer is between 1200 and 1300 nm. Furthermore, the laminated glass of the present invention is formed by interposing this infrared reflective film between two sheets of intermediate film, and laminating these between two sheets of glass.

Abstract: Photo-acid generating vinyl polymerizable monomers (PAG monomers) were prepared comprising sulfonate ester groups of N-hydroxide imides. The photo-acid generating portion of the PAG monomer is linked to a polymerizable portion of the monomer by an amide linking group. Photo-acid generating polymers (PAG polymers) of the PAG monomers show high sensitivity to extreme ultraviolet radiation (13.5 nm) and much less sensitivity to far ultraviolet wavelengths (193 nm, 248 nm). The PAG polymers also exhibit thermal and chemical amplification properties useful for forming high resolution positive tone or negative tone lithographic resist patterns.

Abstract: A battery employing lithium-oxygen chemistry may include an anode comprising lithium, an electrolyte, and a porous cathode. The electrolyte may include a lithium-containing salt; a partially fluorinated ether, such as 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane; and a co-solvent selected from the group consisting of ethers, amides, nitriles, and combinations thereof. In some examples, the electrolyte does not include a cyclic carbonate ester, a sulfolane, or a sulfolane derivative. The porous cathode allows oxygen to come into contact with the electrolyte.

Abstract: The present invention herein provides a method for preparing a dispersion of fluorinated nanodiamond particles, which can be used in, for instance, an abrasive, a lubricant, and a heat-exchanging fluid medium, which is stable over a long period of time on the order of not less than 120 hours and which has a viscosity, as determined at 20° C., of not less than 3 cP. This dispersion can be prepared by blending fluorinated nanodiamond particles with a first liquid having a viscosity, as determined at 20° C., of not higher than 2.5 cP to thus form a suspension, classifying the suspension to give a classified suspension, and then blending the classified suspension with a second liquid having a viscosity value, as determined at 20° C., of not less than 4 cP.
