Abstract: A connector includes a housing fitted into a mating side housing, a locking arm including a locking portion, and a slider. The locking arm is connected to the housing and extends toward a rear end and along a fitting direction into the mating side housing. The locking arm is configured to be restored after bending in a lock release direction and the locking portion is configured to be engaged with an engagement portion of the mating side housing to lock the mating side housing and the housing, when the housing is being fitted into the mating side housing. A slider is slidably attached to the housing between a main locking position on a bending end side of the locking arm and a temporary locking position deviating from the main locking position.

Abstract: A laminated film includes a polylactic acid-based resin layer and one or more acetylated hyaluronic acid layers laminated on a side of the polylactic acid-based resin layer, is highly flexible and easy to handle and, when stuck to an adherend with curved surface, the laminated film has excellent followability, adhesiveness and coating properties to the adherend, since the acetylated hyaluronic acid layer(s) can be removed easily with an aqueous solution from the polylactic acid-based resin layer in a thin film shape. The acetylated hyaluronic acid and the polylactic acid-based resin are biodegradable and, therefore, the laminated film is highly compatible with skin and organs such as visceral organs. The laminated film is optimally usable as a dermal material for external application such as a wound coating material, an adhesion inhibitor and skin care articles.

Abstract: A porous ultra-thin polymer film has a film thickness of 10 nm-1000 nm. A method of producing the porous ultra-thin polymer film includes dissolving two types of mutually-immiscible polymers in a first solvent in an arbitrary proportion to obtain a solution; applying the solution onto a substrate and then removing the first solvent from the solution applied onto the substrate to obtain a phase-separated ultra-thin polymer film that has been phase-separated into a sea-island structure; and immersing the ultra-thin polymer film in a second solvent which is a good solvent for the polymer of the island parts but a poor solvent for a polymer other than the island parts to remove the island parts, thereby obtaining a porous ultra-thin polymer film.
