Abstract: There is provided a photocatalytic pulp composition having the antibacterial, bad smell degrading and harmful substance oxidatively degrading effects in various wide uses such as a filter material, packaging material, building material. A photocatalytic pulp composition is effectively used in the air treatment, the water treatment and the soil treatment and improves the photocatalytic activity effect itself. There is provided a photocatalytic pulp composition characterized in that 40 to 95 wt % of a pulp and/or a paper having the water content of 3 wt % or less, the average fiber diameter of 5 to 300 ?m and the average fiber length of 0.7 to 70 mm is blended with 5 to 60 wt % of titanium oxide. A photocatalytic pulp composition is provided in which 25 to 100 wt % of a thermoplastic resin is blended relative to the total weight of titanium oxide with a pulp and/or a paper blended at the above ratio.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a laminated photocatalytic pulp paper having a variety of uses such as a filter material, a packaging material, a construction material and the like, which has the antibacterial property, the bad smell degrading property and harmful substance oxidatively degrading property, is useful for use in air treatment, water treatment and soil treatment and, at the same time, can improve the photocatalytic activity effect itself of titanium oxide. According to the present invention, there is provided a laminated photocatalytic pulp paper characterized in that a wastepaper pulp is laminated on a photocatalytic pulp composition in which 40-95 wt % of a pulp and/or a paper having the water content of 3 wt % or less, an average fiber diameter of 5-300 &mgr;m and an average fiber length of 0.1-70 mm are blended with 5-60 wt % of titanium oxide, and a paper string comprising this pulp paper.

Abstract: A resin pallet having enhanced shock absorbing capability, load capacity and durability comprises a pallet of a three-dimensional structure with a predetermined bulk density and voids, the three dimensional structure being formed by contacting, entwining, and gathering adjacent ones of random loops or curls of continuous filaments and/or short filaments of a thermoplastic resin.

Abstract: There is provided a molded article which has high shock absorbing capability and load capacity. A resin molded article having a spring structure comprises a three-dimensional structure with voids, which is formed by entwining and gathering adjacent ones of random loops or curls of solid and/or hollow continuous filaments and/or short filaments made from a mixture of a polyolefin resin and VAC, EVA or SBS.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a shock absorber which can reduce damage to the member to collide therewith. The invention provides a shock absorber comprising a cushion structure of three-dimensional spring construction, which has a large void provided by a random curl or loop formed by hot extruding a thermoplastic resin to form a continuous strip and curling or looping the strip in a molten state to bring adjoining strip sections into interlocking contact with each other. In the invention, the cushion structure may be obtained by stacking a plurality of cushion structure members, each having high cushion performance and buckling resistance and a certain thickness, one upon another parallel in a thickness direction or rolling up one side of a cushion member with a given thickness. Then, the cushion structure is embedded in a foamed and hardened filler containing a hydratable, hydraulic binder while a part of the cushion structure is exposed on an shock-receiving surface.

Abstract: A method for recycling a photographic film is provided. The method comprises shredding the photographic film into a plurality of fragments to be processed; swelling the fragments to be processed formed in the shredding step by dipping each of these fragments to be processed into hot water; and drying the fragments to be processed swollen in the swelling step by applying an impact frictional striking force to each of these fragments to be processed, peeling layers other than a resin material base of the photographic film, i.e., a protective coat, an emulsion layer, and a base coat layer, from each fragment to be processed and classifying these layers, and grading the resin material base so as to be resin material to be recovered.
