The island component includes a thermoplastic elastomer resin (A) having at least one of a Shore A hardness of 90 or less, a Shore D hardness of 60 or less, or a Rockwell hardness (R scale) of 70 or less. The sea component includes a water-soluble or easily alkali-soluble thermoplastic resin (B). The sea-island type composite multifilament has an average single island diameter of 8000 nm or less.

Abstract: A composite fiber contains a component A as a core component and a component B at least partially covering the component A. The component A contains a vibration damping elastomer having a peak top intensity of tan ? of 0.5 or more. The component B contains a thermoplastic elastomer having a peak top intensity of tan ? of less than 0.5. The component B covers 70% or more of the cross-sectional perimeter of the component A in the fiber cross-section.

Abstract: Provided are: a compound resin containing a hydrogenated block copolymer (X) that is a hydrogenated product of a block copolymer having a polymer block (A) mainly composed of a structural unit derived from an aromatic vinyl compound and a polymer block (B) mainly composed of a structural unit derived from a conjugated diene compound, at least one terminal of which is formed of the polymer block (A), and an oil (Y) having a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 25 mm2/s or less, the content of the oil (Y) relative to 100 parts by mass of the hydrogenated block copolymer (X) being 450 to 1,500 parts by mass; and a human body model containing the compound resin.

Abstract: The ambulatory insect pest-trapping device includes a contact portion at which one end of an adhesive sheet is connected to one end of a walkway sheet. Another end of the adhesive sheet is arranged apart from another end of the walkway sheet. A space for housing an ambulatory insect pest B is formed between the adhesive sheet and the walkway sheet, and an entrance is formed between the other end of the adhesive sheet and the other end of the walkway sheet. The device is formed into a tapered shape such that a distance between the adhesive sheet and the walkway sheet gradually decreases in a direction from the entrance toward the contact portion.

Abstract: A mite-capturing sheet (1) includes an adhesive sheet (3) that captures mites and a resin sheet (4) placed on the adhesive sheet (3) and containing an attractant. The resin sheet (4) has a plurality of resin sheet openings (5) that expose the adhesive sheet (3).

Abstract: Provided is a bulked yarn, comprising a bulked single spun yarn obtained from a composite twisted yarn comprising a single spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn, which are twisted together in a direction opposite to a twisting direction of the single spun yarn, by dissolving and removing the water-soluble yarn in a hydrophilic solvent from the composite twisted yarn. When the bulked yarn having a length of 100 cm is hung down in a state where both ends of the yarn are fixed at a distance of 10 cm from each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force, twisting does not occur or an average value of the distances from the uppermost end of a twisting section to the first and second fixed ends of the yarn is 30 cm or more.

Abstract: A bulked yarn comprising a bulked single spun yarn obtainable from a composite twisted yarn in which a single spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn together in a direction opposite to the twisting direction of the single spun yarn by dissolving and removing the water-soluble yarn in a hydrophilic solvent from the composite twisted yarn is prepared.

The bulked yarn has excellent texture, lightweight properties, and anti-pilling properties, as well as excellent weaving and knitting properties and productivity.

Abstract: A textile includes a composite twisted yarn, including a spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn. The spun yarn has a twist direction that is a reverse of a twist direction of the composite twisted yarn. The water-soluble yarn is twisted with the spun yarn. A twist number of the composite twisted yarn is 1.3 to 3 times a twist number of the spun yarn, and a weight ratio of the spun yarn relative to the water-soluble yarn [spun yarn]/[water-soluble yarn] is 20/80 to 98/2. An other textile may also include an elongated elastic yarn having an elongation of 2 to 5 times an original length of the elastic yarn in a non-elongated position, and the elongated elastic yarn is twisted with the water-soluble yarn and the spun yarn. A twist number of the composite twisted yarn is 0.3 to 3 times a twist number of the spun yarn.
