Abstract: The present invention provides a conjugate fiber having excellent elastic extensibility and transparency. The present invention relates to a highly elastic conjugate fiber comprising an elastomeric resin (A) having elastic extensibility; and an elastomeric resin (B) having elastic extensibility, permanent elongation of 25 to 70% and a tensile elongation of 100 to 800%; a core comprising the elastomeric resin (A), and a sheath comprising the elastomeric resin (B).

Abstract: It is the object of the invention to provide a fiber excellent in cool contact feeling which is excellent in hand and skin touch and capable of preventing unpleasant feeling in the wet state and a woven fabric, clothing, and underwear excellent in cool contact feeling and obtainable by using the fiber excellent in cool contact feeling. The invention is a fiber excellent in cool contact feeling, which contains a thermoplastic elastomer and an inorganic filler.

Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to provide a conductive brush excelling in functionality and being useful as a cleaning brush in the color copier using the color toner of fine grain than before. The present invention is a conductive brush, which comprises a base fabric and a mixed fiber of a polyethylene terephthalate fiber and a nylon-66 fiber being raised on the base fabric by pile-flocking and, said polyethylene terephthalate fiber and/or said nylon-66 fiber having a volume resistivity of 100 to 106 ?·cm.

Abstract: A charging device for use in an image forming apparatus is disclosed which charges an object to be charged by contacting a conductive charging member with the surface of the object and then applying a voltage across the charging member and the object,wherein at least a contact portion of the charging member comprises a conductive material having a hygroscopic degree of 0.2% or less.

Abstract: A flocked member having a base and a flock and characterized in that the flock is formed by filaments comprising a resin composition (E) or yarns comprising the filament, the resin composition (E) comprising per 100 parts by weight thereof:(1) 90 to 2 parts byweight of a modified polyethylene composition (C) in the form of a mixture which includes 90 to 10 wt. % of a ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (A) having an intrisic viscosity (.eta.) of at least 6 dl/g, and 10 to 90 wt. % of a polyethylene (B) having an intrinsic viscosity (.eta.) of 0.1 to 5 dl/g, at least one of the polyethylene (A) and the polyethylene (B) having been modified with at least one modifying monomer sclected from among unsaturated carboxylic acids and derivatives thereof, and(2) 10 to 98 parts by weight of a polyamide (D).

Abstract: A slidable member holding device having a flock portion for contact with a member slidable relative thereto. The flock portion comprises a yarn including as its components at least two kinds of filaments having different thicknesses, and is improved in slipping property, abrasion resistance and durability.
