Abstract: The present invention relates to a zinc oxide-cellulose nanocomposite made of cellulose and zinc oxide nanoparticles and to a preparation method thereof. The nanocomposite of the present invention is prepared by producing zinc oxide nanoparticles as seeds on the surface and/or inside of a cellulose film and growing the seeds into zinc oxide crystals to form a zinc oxide layer strongly attached to the cellulose film. The nanocomposite of the present invention has significantly improved piezoelectricity compared to simple cellulose piezoelectric paper and may be used for LEDs and photovoltaic power generation devices thanks to zinc oxide doped therein.

Abstract: A metal-clad laminate of the present invention comprises an insulating layer, and a metal layer that is present at least on one surface side of the insulating layer. The insulating layer is a laminate of at least three layers: a center layer, a first resin layer that is present on one surface side of the center layer, and a second resin layer that is present on the other surface side of the center layer. The center layer, the first resin layer and the second resin layer each contain a cured product of a respective resin composition. The elastic modulus of the cured product of the resin composition contained in the center layer is lower than the elastic moduli of both the cured product of the resin composition contained in the first resin layer and the cured product of the resin composition contained in the second resin layer.
Abstract: Disclosed is a neutral to alkaline inorganic conversion coating composition that can be applied directly to a metal surface without a phosphatizing pre-treatment and that provides significant corrosion protection to the surface. The coating composition is very versatile and can accommodate addition of a wide variety of organic polymers which can be added directly to the coating composition thus eliminating multistep coating processes.

Abstract: A moisture vapor and oxygen transmission resistant flexible film has a polymeric base layer and a barrier layer of discrete particles of a first organic polymer dispersed throughout a matrix of a second organic polymer. Preferably, the first and second polymers are water insoluble and water soluble, respectively. The barrier layer is formed by depositing onto the base layer a coating composition of finely divided insoluble organic polymer particles suspended in an aqueous solution of the water soluble organic polymer, a crosslinking agent and surfactant. The coating composition is heated to crosslink the barrier layer polymers and evaporate solvent to provide a barrier film suitable for packaging applications. Optionally, the film can be metalized to increase barrier properties.
Abstract: A coating composition is provided comprising a) an aqueous dispersion, having a pH of less than 7.5, of silica nanoparticles having average particle diameters of 40 nanometers or less, b) an alkoxysilane oligomer; c) a silane coupling agent, and d) optionally a metal ?-diketone complexing agent. The compositions may be used to prepare coated articles wherein the coating is substantially uniform in thickness, durably adheres to the substrate, and provides hydrophilic and/or antireflection surface properties to the substrate.
