Abstract: This invention concerns a transfer roller prepared by blending short collagen fibers in a rubber matrix for conveying plate-like materials sandwiched between paired rollers. By mixing collagen fibers mechanically in the rubber matrix with no addition of process oil or oil type reinforcing agent, conveyor rollers of a long operation life which show no reduction in the conveying function even when water or oil droplets are deposited to the rollers surface is obtained.
Abstract: An acoustic material suitable for use as a speaker edge comprises an expanded plastic and minute collagen fibers wherein the content of the collagen fibers is 15 - 40% based on the weight of the expanded plastic and the length of the fibers is equal to or less than 1 mm.
