  • Patent number: 12629665
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a nanocrystal composite includes a connected aggregate including a plurality of nanocrystal fragments connected to one another, each nanocrystal fragment having a main surface and an end surface, and nanoparticles supported on the connected aggregate. The plurality of nanocrystal fragments each have a flaky shape; the plurality of nanocrystal fragments have gaps between the main surfaces; and the gaps G are arranged so as to open to the outside of the connected aggregate. The nanoparticles have a metallic element different from that of the plurality of nanocrystal fragments; and a proportion of a visual field area of the nanoparticles with respect to a visual field area of the plurality of nanocrystal fragments is 2% or more and 50% or less.

  • Publication number: 20260000483
    Abstract: A dental capsule container that can mix a first component and a second component in appropriate proportions. An annular fitting portion extending in a radial direction and a circumferential direction is formed at an end close to the operating portion of the piston portion of the piston member. An annular fitted portion fitted by the annular fitting portion is formed in a state in which the pressing rod portion opens the second discharge port by which the piston member is inserted in the second cylindrical portion of the chamber member in an inner circumferential portion adjacent to the third opening portion of the second cylindrical portion of the chamber member. The shape and dimensions of the annular fitting portion and the annular fitted portion are determined so that the fitting is not released due to an increase in inner pressure of the mixing portion.
