Abstract: A joined article including: a resin (1) having a linear expansion coefficient at 30° C. to 200° C. of 17 ppm/° C. or higher and a thickness of 5 to 100 ?m; and a metal joined to a surface of the resin (1) and having a thickness of 5 to 50 ?m. The resin (1) includes a heat-affected layer that is close to the metal and that occupies 80% or less of the thickness of the resin (1), and the joined article is a dielectric material for a substrate. Also disclosed is a substrate including the joined article and a resin (2) stacked on the joined article.

Abstract: The present invention provides an activated carbon having an average length/average diameter (L/D) of 0.8 to 1.2 and a difference between the 1/1-volume benzene adsorption rate and the 1/10-volume benzene adsorption rate of 6.0 g/100 mL or more, and a canister and an intake air filter utilizing such activated carbon as an adsorbent. The activated carbon has a substantially spherical configuration and excellent hydrocarbon adsorption/desorption capacity. A canister and an intake air filter utilizing such activated carbon as an adsorbent have excellent hydrocarbon adsorption/desorption capacity.

Abstract: Activated carbon in which the residual amount of hydrocarbon (HC) can be reduced and a canister using such activated carbon are provided. Activated carbon in which the residual amount of butane is determined to be 1.2 g/100 ml or less after butane is adsorbed thereon and desorbed therefrom in accordance with the determination of BWC (ASTM D-5228) and a canister using such activated carbon as an adsorbent are provided.

Abstract: A process for producing an activated carbon includes the step of adsorbing an organic compound onto an activated carbon comprising pores which exhibit a wide pore diameter distribution, thereby selectively closing smaller pores which have a small pore diameter. In accordance with the production process, it is possible to produce activated carbons which are good in terms of the adsorption-desorption characteristic.

Abstract: This invention provides activated carbon having excellent adsorption and desorption properties and a canister using such activated carbon. An organic substance is adsorbed on a base activated carbon having pores with a wide range of diameter to selectively occlude pores with small diameters. As the pores with small diameters are occluded, the activated carbon has excellent adsorption and desorption properties. A canister using this activated carbon has a decreased leakage of an adsorbate.
