  • Patent number: 8168252
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic wave shielding material that has high electromagnetic wave shielding effects, excellent transparency, and excellent see-through property, and a simple and inexpensive production process for the electromagnetic wave shielding material. Specifically, the present invention provides a process for producing an electromagnetic wave shielding material, the process comprising screen-printing in a geometric pattern a conductive paste containing a particulate silver oxide, a tertiary fatty acid silver salt, and a solvent, onto a transparent porous layer surface of a transparent resin substrate having a transparent porous layer containing as a main component at least one member selected from the group consisting of oxide ceramics, non-oxide ceramics, and metals; and performing heat treatment to form a conductive region with a geometric pattern on the transparent porous layer surface; and an electromagnetic wave shielding material produced by the production process.

  • Publication number: 20100326825
    Abstract: Provided is a solid ion conductor which can be used suitably for an electrochemical device or a hydrogen gas sensor. An electrochemical device wherein a pair of electrodes are formed in the state that a solid ion conductor is sandwiched therebetween, the conductor being obtained by subjecting, to curing treatment with ultraviolet rays, a mixture of a photocurable resin and an ionic liquid having one or more cationic moieties selected from imidazolium based ions, pyridinium based ions, aliphatic amine based ions, alicyclic amine based ions and aliphatic phosphonium ions, and having one or more anionic moieties selected from boric acid ions, triflate ions, halogen based ions, and phosphonate ions.

  • Publication number: 20100025241
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hydrogen gas sensor which requires no purging, has excellent hydrogen gas selectivity, and can be produced at relatively low cost. The hydrogen gas sensor includes a detection unit having a base body composed of a solid polymer electrolyte or a carbon-containing solid polymer electrolyte obtained by dispersing a carbon material in a solid polymer electrolyte and a catalyst layer provided on one of the surfaces of the base body to perform catalytic function on contact with hydrogen gas.

  • Patent number: 4870146
    Abstract: A process for producing a light color high softening point hydrocarbon resin, which comprises polymerizing an oil fraction obtained by condensing a fractionated component withdrawn in a gas phase from a recovery section of a fractionating tower located below the feeding section and above the bottom of the tower during the fractional distillation in the tower of a feed oil fraction having a boiling point within a range of from 140.degree. to 280.degree. C. selected among cracked oil fractions obtained by thermal cracking of petroleum.
