Abstract: A press die and a processing method of the press die surface, and a manufacturing method of a vehicle body of an automobile, are capable of maintaining a high non-defective product rate of works after press processing, even in a case in which foreign matter such as iron filings and the like have adhered to a die surface. A press die for sheet metal forming has a multitude of concave portions on a die surface, and has a roughness (Ry) of a die surface on which the multitude of concave portions has been formed of 30 to 38 ?m.

Abstract: Provided is a lithium ion secondary battery demonstrating improved manganese dissolution inhibition performance when the lithium ion secondary battery is charged and discharged. In the lithium ion secondary battery, a positive electrode (64) includes a positive electrode collector (62) and a positive electrode active material layer (66) including at least a positive electrode active material (70) and formed on the positive electrode collector. The positive electrode active material (70) is mainly constituted by a manganese-containing lithium complex oxide (72) including lithium and at least manganese as a transition metal element and includes a coating film (74) of an amorphous structure including at least iron (Fe) and fluorine (F) formed on at least part of a surface of the manganese-containing lithium complex oxide.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device includes an exhaust pipe defining an exhaust passage, a first SOX adsorption portion having a first SOX adsorption material provided in the exhaust passage, a second SOX adsorption portion having a second SOX adsorption material provided in the exhaust passage, and a NOX catalyst provided downstream of the first SOX adsorption portion and the second SOX adsorption portion in the exhaust passage. The first SOX adsorption material is configured to adsorb SOX in the combustion gas at a temperature lower than a first set temperature. The second SOX adsorption material is configured to store SOX in the combustion gas at a temperature equal to or higher than a second set temperature, and the stored SOX can be kept at a temperature lower than the second set temperature. Therefore, the exhaust gas purification device can adsorb SOX in the exhaust gas with high efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention is for providing a synthetic resin composition capable of effectively deodorizing amine malodor causing substances such as trimethyl amine. In a synthetic resin composition comprising an aqueous medium, a surfactant, and a polymer latex and a filler dispersed in the aqueous medium by the surfactant, a transitional metal supported silica gel having at least one selected from the group consisting of a transitional metal and a transitional metal compound supported by a silica gel and an activated carbon were used as the filler. Since the transitional metal or the transitional metal compound has an performs extremely well as a Lewis acid, it forms a complex with a Lewis base having an unpaired electron. That is, a malodor causing substance such as amines and ammonia having a nitrogen atom with an unpaired electron can be adsorbed efficiently.

Abstract: A synthetic resin composition comprises an aqueous medium, a surfactant, and a resin and filler dispersed in the aqueous medium by the surfactant. The surfactant comprises a first high molecular weight compound having a weight-average molecular weight of at least 10000 and a second high molecular weight compound having a weight-average molecular weight of not less than 150 and less than 10000. In the synthetic resin composition, a solid material is well dispersed and the viscosity doesn't remarkably increase even if a solid content is increased. So, the increased amount of a non-volatile matter may be used and the storage stability improves. Further, flame retardation, deodorization, heat resistance and light fastness also improve. In addition, an interior material which is a fabric coated with the synthetic resin composition is provided. In the interior material, the texture, flame retardation, deodorization and light fastness improve without the deterioration of workability.
