  • Water absorbent material
    Patent number: 6653399
    Abstract: A water absorbent material, comprising, as a main component, a water absorbent resin which has a structure in which a anhydropolyamino acid having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond is grafted with polysaccharides, wherein at least a portion of the anhydropolyamino acid is hydrolyzed and crosslinked, has high water absorbency and high biodegradability even if the anhydropolyamino acid has a low molecular weight.

  • Aqueous resin dispersion and process for the preparation thereof
    Patent number: 6069191
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an aqueous resin dispersion comprising a copolymer of a perfluoroalkyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer and/or polydimethylsiloxane group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer and another ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable therewith dispersed in water in the presence of a water-dispersible polyurethane containing a polydimethylsiloxane group such as silicone and a hydrophilic group such as a carboxylate group. The aqueous resin dispersion of the present invention provides a release agent which can freely control releasability, be excellent in adhesion to a substrate, and undergo little migration to back face or little change in releasability with time.
