Abstract: Polyarylenesulfide resin compositions are provided having a dramatically improved adhesiveness with regard to the cured epoxy resin, while maintaining characteristics of polyarylenesulfide resins such as a heat resistivity and a chemical resistivity. The above described polyarylenesulfide resin compositions are obtained by comprising as essential components the allylenesulfide resin (A), bisphenol-type epoxy resin (B), and an oxazoline-group-containing amorphous polymer (C). The thus obtained polyarylenesulfide resin compositions can be used as superior engineering plastics in wide application fields such as electronic and other devices.

Abstract: A composition for an ink-receiving layer comprising: (A) an aqueous polyurethane resin having a polycarbonate chain; (B) at least one pigment selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, calcium carbonate and clay; and at least one of (C) a phenolic antioxidant and (D) a hindered amine ultraviolet absorber. Also disclosed are a recording material having an ink-receiving layer comprising the composition, and printed matter obtained from the recording material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a photo-alignment layer for a liquid crystal display device, which has good liquid crystal display device characteristics such as a good voltage holding ratio and also has good alignment stability and sufficient resistance to light and heat. The photo-alignment layer is manufactured by coating a polymerizable monomer having at least one photo-alignment moiety, which carries out a photo-alignment function by the photo dimerization reaction, and at least two polymerizable maleimide groups per molecule on a substrate, and exposing the coating layer to light to cause the photo dimerization reaction of the structural unit and the photopolymerization reaction of the polymerizable maleimide group, thereby to form a crosslinked polymeric layer and to enable the polymeric layer to carry out the photo-alignment function.
