  • Patent number: 11939443
    Abstract: A polyphenylene ether resin composition includes (A) polyphenylene ether, and (B) a block copolymer including a butadiene block having a molar ratio of a 1,2-bonding structure to a 1,4-bonding structure of 80:20 to 100:0 and a styrene block. The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the component (A) may be 1,000 to 7,000, the weight ratio of the styrene block to the butadiene block in the component (B) may be 10:90 to 80:20, and the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the component (B) may be 2,000 to 100,000.

  • Publication number: 20220162438
    Abstract: A fluororubber composition contains 0.1 to 50 parts by weight of an epoxidized polybutadiene with respect to 100 parts by weight of a fluororubber. As the fluororubber, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FKM), a tetrafluoroethylene-propylene-based copolymer (FEPM), a tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether-based copolymer (FFKM), or the like is exemplified. The fluororubber composition may further contain a vulcanizing agent or the like.

  • Patent number: 9562128
    Abstract: A novel copolymer having excellent pigment dispersion performance, and more particularly, a novel copolymer usable as a pigment dispersing agent that can attain high luminance and high contrast of a green picture element in a color filter. The novel copolymer contains: a block chain (A) including a repeating unit having a tertiary amino group; and a block chain (B) including a repeating unit represented by the following formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C1-C3 alkyl group, R2 and R3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a C1-C6 alkyl group, Q represents an oxygen-containing saturated hetero ring group optionally having an alkyl group as a substituent or a C2-C20 alkenyl group, and n represents an integer of 0 to 6), and has an amine value of 80 mgKOH/g or more and 250 mgKOH/g or less.
