  • Patent number: 10940629
    Abstract: To provide an ETFE film which is unlikely to wrinkle when stretched and retracted, and a method for producing the same. It is an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer film characterized in that the crystallinity obtained by the formula (1) from the peak area S20 in the vicinity of 2?=20°, the peak area S19 in the vicinity of 2?=19° and the peak area S17 in the vicinity of 2?=17° in the diffraction intensity curve obtained by the X-ray diffraction method, is from 55 to 70%, and the proportion of the quasi-crystal layer obtained by the formula (2) is from 10 to 20%: crystallinity (%)=(S19+S2)/(S17+S19+S20)×100??(1) proportion of quasi-crystal layer (%)=S20/(S17+S19++S20)×100??(2).

  • Patent number: 7388114
    Abstract: A novel perfluoropolyether derivative which is less likely to undergo decomposition, which is free from a problem of deterioration during its use, and which is useful as a lubricating oil or a coating agent, is provided. A compound represented by the following formula (1): HO—(CH2CH2O)r. (CH2CH(OH)CH2O)p—CH2CF2O(CF2CF2O)mCF2CH2O——(CH2CH(OH)CH2O)q. (CH2CH2O)s—H ??Formula (1) wherein m represents an integer of from 3 to 200, and each of p, q, r and s which are independent of one another, represents an integer of from 0 to 100, provided that when each of p, q, r and s which are independent of one another, is an integer of at least 1, the arrangement of —(CH2CH2O)— and —(CH2CH(OH)CH2O)— units is not particularly limited, and when one of r and p is an integer of at least 2 and the other is an integer of at least 1, or when one of q and s is an integer of at least 2 and the other is an integer of at least 1, these units may be arranged in a block form or at random.
