  • Patent number: 10066072
    Abstract: Composite resin particles comprising 50 to 800 parts by mass of a polystyrene-based resin with respect to 100 parts by mass of a polyolefin-based resin, wherein: when transmission electron microscope (TEM) images obtained by photographing cross-sections of the composite resin particles using a TEM at a magnification of 1,000 are subjected to a binarization processing and areas in the obtained binarized images which correspond to a cross-sectional area of 437.584 ?m2 of the composite resin particles are subjected to image analysis, the polystyrene-based resin satisfies the following requirements: (1) the number of dispersed particles is 180 or more; (2) the maximum of the areas of dispersed particles is 200 ?m2 or less; and (3) the coefficient of variation in dispersion is 100% or more, and the composite resin particles exhibit an inner morphology that includes a mixture of sea-island structure regions and co-continuous structure regions.

  • Patent number: 5270355
    Abstract: A paper coated resin has been provided which simultaneousy provides coated papers with improved ink receptivity, water resistance and blister resistance in a good balance. The resin is obtainable by introducing alicyclic amino and/or alicyclic epoxy compounds into a polyalkylenepolyamine-urea-aldehyde(epihalohydrin) resin or by introducing alicyclic amino and/or alicyclic epoxy compounds into a polyalkylenepolyamine-urea-aldehyde(epihalohydrin) resin and/or an amine-epihalohydrin resin and reacting or mixing these resins.
