Abstract: A photomask excellent in durability and exposure efficiency is provided, which is obtained by a simple manufacturing method at a low cost, exhibits sufficient ESD-suppressing effect, causes no destruction of an exposure pattern, and has satisfactory exposure efficiency. The photomask comprises a light-shielding film formed into a pattern for shielding a photoresist film from exposure to light, formed on a surface of a transparent substrate. A coating layer including a thiophene-based conductive resin is formed on the transparent substrate having the light-shielding film formed thereon. The sheet resistance at a surface of the photomask having the coating layer including a thiophene-based conductive resin is smaller than 1011?/?.

Abstract: In preparing a hinokitiol-containing residential environment improving material including a porous particulate matter having pores into which an oil extracted from a tree containing hinokitiol is adsorbed, there are carried out a mixed liquid preparation step including mixing the extracted oil with an alcohol, an adsorption step including mixing the porous particulate matter with the resulting mixed liquid to allow the mixed liquid to be adsorbed into the pores of the porous particulate matter, and an alcohol removal step including removing an alcohol component from the mixed liquid adsorbed into the pores of the porous particulate matter. By carrying out these steps, the adsorption of the extracted oil into the porous particulate matter and the operability thereof can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing an aromatic anti-bacterial agent containing hinokitiol, comprising the steps of extracting an aqueous solution containing at least hinokitiol from wood chips and reducing the aqueous solution extracted to produce the aromatic anti-bacterial agent.

Abstract: The construction material comprises a construction base material and microcapsules inside of which liquid containing hinokitiol is incorporated and a plurality of which are to be mixed into the construction base material and the liquid in the microcapsules transudes into the construction base material because the microcapsules collapse due to at least change with time.
