  • Patent number: 11485877
    Abstract: A structure body includes a base material and a siloxane based molecular membrane formed on the base material by use of an organic compound represented by Formula (1) or Formula (2): wherein any one of R1 to R5 is an amino group, others of R1 to R5 are each independently hydrogen or an alkyl group, R7 to R9 are each independently any one of hydroxy group, alkoxy group, alkyl group, and phenyl group on condition that one or more of R7 to R9 are each independently a hydroxy group or an alkoxy group, and R6 is an alkyl group.

  • Publication number: 20210396744
    Abstract: A complex includes photoresponsive liposomes, a first buffer solution, and a second buffer solution. Each of the photoresponsive liposomes includes a membrane that contains azobenzene compound and phospholipid and a membrane binding site that is immobilized to the membrane and bindable to a target substance. The first buffer solution is filled inside the photoresponsive liposomes. The second buffer solution exists outside of the photoresponsive liposomes. The first buffer solution has a composition that is different from that of the second buffer solution.

  • Publication number: 20080053643
    Abstract: A surface polyaniline layer comprising a polyaniline and/or a derivative thereof capable of generating active oxygen or hydrogen peroxide upon the reaction with the water component in external air that comes in contact therewith, is formed on at least a portion of the outermost surface of a base body constituting tubes and/or fins, wherein a benzenoid/quinoid ratio in the surface polyaniline layer (defined as a ratio of an absorbancy of the benzenoid structure to an absorbancy of the quinoid structure in the polyaniline and/or the derivative thereof) is in a range of about 0.5 to about 3.0.

  • Patent number: 7175914
    Abstract: In a heat exchanger having tubes and fins, a polyaniline film made of polyaniline and/or a derivative thereof is formed on the surfaces of the tubes and the fins. This polyaniline film is imparted with at least one hydrophilic functional group selected from the class consisting of a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, a tertiary amino group, an ammonium group, a nitric acid group, a carboxyl group, a sulfonic acid group, a phosphonic acid group and a hydroxyl group. Accordingly, the surfaces of the tubes and the fins has good water wettability while maintaining deodorizing and sterilizing functions.

  • Patent number: 6899166
    Abstract: On the surface of a heat exchanging portion in a heat exchanger, a film made of a polyaniline is formed. When the heat exchanger operates, condensed water is adhered on the surface of the heat exchanger, and contacts the film made of the polyaniline. Accordingly, oxygen dissolved in the condensed water becomes active oxygen by the polyaniline, and organic substances contained in the condensed water is decomposed. Thus, an amount of organic substances attached to a surface of the heat exchanger can be reduced in low cost without equipment extension.
