Abstract: An electric power generation cell 1 is constituted by arranging a fuel electrode layer 4 on one side of a solid electrolyte layer 3 and an air electrode layer 2 on the other side of the solid electrolyte layer 3. The solid electrolyte layer 3 is constituted of an oxide ion conductor mainly composed of a lanthanum gallate based oxide. The fuel electrode layer 4 is constituted of a porous sintered compact having a highly dispersed network structure in which a skeletal structure formed of a consecutive array of metal grains is surrounded by mixed conductive oxide grains. For the air electrode layer 2, a porous sintered compact mainly composed of cobaltite is used. This configuration reduces the overpotentials of the respective electrodes and the IR loss of the solid electrolyte layer 3, and accordingly can actualize a solid oxide type fuel cell excellent in electric power generation efficiency.

Abstract: An object is to provide a process for producing a carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced composite material, wherein CNT is homogeneously dispersed in a resin to obtain the composite material having an excellent mechanical strength. Hydrophilic CNTs 12 are dispersed in a first solvent 11 to prepare a first dispersion liquid 13. The dispersion liquid 13 and a synthetic resin raw material 15 are added to a second solvent 14 and the resulting mixture is stirred to prepare a third dispersion liquid 17 where a second dispersion liquid 16 in which the synthetic resin raw material 15 is dissolved in the dispersion liquid 13 is dispersed in the solvent 14. The solvents 11 and 14 are removed from the dispersion liquid 17 to obtain a mixture of the hydrophilic CNTs 12 and the synthetic resin raw material 15. The mixture is molded to obtain the composite material in which the synthetic resin is reinforced with the hydrophilic CNTs 12.

Abstract: A resin ring 51 is press-fitted into a grove portion formed in an inner periphery surface of an interlocking ring 4. The resin ring 51 is made of a hard resin such as Teflon. The resin ring 51 as a low frictional lubricative member is interposed between the interlock ring 4 and an outer periphery ring 3. In addition, a cavity 6 as a closed space is formed between a stamper 1b as a molding surface of a fixed side mirror 1 and a mirror side molding surface 2b of a moving side mirror 2. While the moving side mirror 2 is being press-contracted to the fixed side mirror 1, when a resin material is filled into the cavity 6, the outer periphery ring 3 is slidably held in a groove of the moving side mirror 2 with predetermined clearances. In the interlock ring 4, a plurality of openings 4a which relieve gas produced by the disc resin material filled into the cavity 6 are formed.
