Abstract: A polarizing-plate-protecting film is provided, including a polyester film, such as a polyethylene terephthalate film, and an adhesion-facilitating layer formed on one surface of the polyester film, made of a hydrophilic cellulosic resin such as acetyl cellulose. On the other surface of the polyester film, a variety of functional layers, such as a hard coat layer, an anti-glaring layer, and an antireflection layer, are layered. The hard coat layer is a layer formed by curing, with an electron beam, an ionizing-radiation-curable resin into which an ultraviolet light absorber has been incorporated. A polyvinyl alcoholic polarizing film is laminated to the adhesion-facilitating layer of the polarizing-plate-protecting film with a water-based adhesive layer to form a polarizing plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of judging the thermostability of a protein, comprising the steps of calculating an analytical value specific to a test protein by a principal component analysis based on the amino acid composition of the protein calculated from the data of the amino acid sequence of the protein or the nucleotide sequence of the gene and comparing the analytical value with an analytical value of a protein which is retained by a thermostable organism and corresponds to the test protein, and further relates to a program for allowing a computer to execute processing for judging the thermostability of a protein by the method, and a computer readable recording medium having recorded the program thereon.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to eliminate drawbacks of conventional multi-layered antireflection films, that is, that a lot of time is required in the formation of a transparent conductive thin film and a low-refractive index layer leading to low processing speed, the corrosion resistance of the transparent conductive thin film is unsatisfactory, and the reflectance over the whole visible light region is not constant.

Abstract: A container is provided that realizes efficient freeze-drying while preventing contamination during freeze-drying. This freeze-drying container uses a nonporous moisture-permeable film in at least a portion thereof, and the nonporous moisture-permeable film can be formed from a polyurethane or a polyester elastomer.

Abstract: A polarizing-plate-protecting film 10 comprising a polyester film 1 such as polyethylene terephthalate film, and an adhesion-facilitating layer 2 formed on one surface of the polyester film 1, made of a hydrophilic cellulosic resin such as acetyl cellulose. On the other surface of the polyester film 1, a variety of functional layers 3 such as a hard coat layer, an anti-glaring layer, and an antireflection layer are layered. The hard coat layer 3 is a layer formed by curing, with an electron beam, an ionizing-radiation-curable resin into which an ultraviolet light absorber has been incorporated. A polyvinyl alcoholic polarizing film 5 is laminated to the adhesion-facilitating layer 2 of the polarizing-plate-protecting film 10 with a water-based adhesive layer 4 to form a polarizing plate 20.

Abstract: A laminated sheet made by bonding a nonwoven fabric to a non-porous waterproof, windproof and moisture permeable film. The bonding may be carried out by hot pressing in combination with a hot-melt adhesive and the laminated sheet may have a water vapor transmission rate of 1,000 to 10,000 g/m2 ·h. The laminated sheet may be further bonded to a face fabric, making the resulting structure particularly suitable for use in the construction of garments.

Abstract: A moisture permeable polyester-based elastomer film that has been subjected to a stretching treatment and has a tension set of not more than about 10 percent when elongated by 50 percent is provided. A process for the manufacture of the moisture permeable polyester-based elastomer film is disclosed. A moisture permeable waterproof fabric comprising a the polyester-based elastomer film laminated to a fiber fabric is further provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are an antiglare film having a high level of anti-scintillation properties, high sharpness of transmitted images, high light transmittance (total light transmittance), and a high level of external light reflection preventive properties, and a process for producing the antiglare film. A resin and non-agglomerative particles having a specific particle diameter are selected so that the difference in refractive index between the resin and the particles is 0.05 to 0.15. The resin and the non-agglomerative particles are brought to a coating composition using, as a solvent, a good solvent for the resin and a poor solvent for the resin. The coating composition is coated onto a substrate film to form a coating which is then dried. In the course of the drying, as the amount of the good solvent in the coating decreases, the poor solvent acts to cause the gelation of the particles and the resin. Thus, good concaves and convexes can be advantageously formed on the surface of the coating.
