Abstract: There is provided a magnetic responsiveness composite material capable of increasing viscosity by applying a magnetic field when compounded together with a liquid in a composition. The magnetic responsive composite material comprises first particles as core particles composed of a nonmagnetic inorganic material and second particles composed of a magnetic material adhering to at least a part of surfaces of the first particles. A lipophilic treatment agent is applied to at least a part of surfaces of the second particles. The second particles satisfy a relationship of having a smaller average particle diameter than that of the first particles. A lipophilic treatment agent is preferably at least one kind selected from coupling agents and surfactants.

Abstract: A resin composition including: a magnetic fluid that includes magnetic particles, a dispersant, and a dispersion medium; and a resin or precursor thereof that includes, in a molecule thereof, at least one partial structure selected from the group consisting of a diene skeleton, a silicone skeleton, a urethane skeleton, a 4- to 7-membered ring lactone skeleton, an alkyl group having from 6 to 30 carbon atoms and an alkylene group having from 6 to 30 carbon atoms, a production method thereof, a resin composition molded body obtained by using the resin composition, and a production method thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is a method that enables continuous injection molding of a thermosetting resin composition and reuse of an unnecessary part produced during the molding. The method includes injecting a thermosetting resin composition into a mold while a curing reaction of the resin composition is incomplete. The thermosetting resin composition is then cooled in the mold until becoming semi-cured and removed as a semi-cured product from the mold. The semi-cured product is separated from the unnecessary part and separately heated to progress a thermosetting reaction of the thermosetting resin composition. The unnecessary part may be used as a reworked raw material by regrinding the unnecessary part and mixing it with a fresh thermosetting resin composition. Then, a resultant mixture is used to perform a new injection molding.

Abstract: A sealing apparatus which is disposed between the media side and the bearing side and adapted to hermetically seal members rotating concentrically relative to each other, wherein a passageway having in a U-shaped cross section is formed by an outer shielding member on the media side, an outer shielding member on the bearing side and an inner shielding member, the end portion of which is inserted into the cavity between the outer shielding members. The end portion of the inner shielding member has a T-shape or L-shape. A magnet is arranged at either the inner shielding member or the outer shielding member. A ferrofluid is retained in the cavity by the surrounding magnet. An oil repellent material may be coated on the surface of the inner shielding member except for a portion extending into the cavity and an adhered portion on its inner diameter side.

Abstract: A magnetic fluid sealing device for preventing magnetic fluid from flowing out or spattering under the influence of rotation of a rotatable shaft, thereby preventing contamination of the surroundings. The device includes a pole piece 1 formed with a step portion 13 whose front end surface 4 is disposed more inwardly than the proximal end surface, and the surface of the step portion 13 opposed to a magnetic body 6 serves as a barrier wall 10. Thereby, magnetic fluid 7 is prevented from flowing out or spattering into the surroundings.
