Abstract: An additive manufacturing method according to one or more embodiments includes a step for feeding a raw-material powder and forming a layer of the raw-material powder and a step for irradiating the layer with a light beam to cause the raw-material powder in the layer to melt and solidify, and thereby molding a part of a molded object. In the molding step, the beam diameter of the light beam on the molding surface is changed partway through molding, within the same layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyurethane urea water dispersion that is a reaction product of a polyol component containing a polymer polyol (A), a polysiloxane compound (S) having at least one active hydrogen-containing group, a compound (B) having at least one active hydrogen and a hydrophilic group in a molecule thereof, and a dihydric alcohol (C); a polyisocyanate (D); and a polyamine (E) having two primary amino groups and at least one secondary amino group, wherein the polyurethane urea water dispersion has an acid value of 1 to 16 mgKOH/g as expressed in terms of a solid component.

Abstract: An aqueous polyhydroxyurethane resin dispersion, which can be stored for a long time, and with which a coating film having a high gas-barrier property can be formed; an aqueous dispersion composition containing a complex of the resin and a clay mineral; and a film having a high gas-barrier property produced using the aqueous polyhydroxyurethane resin dispersion or the aqueous dispersion composition are provided. The aqueous polyhydroxyurethane resin dispersion comprises a polyhydroxyurethane resin finely dispersed in water, where the polyhydroxyurethane resin has in its structure, a repeating unit represented by formula (1) as a basic structure and a carboxyl group-containing chemical structure moiety represented by formula (6), described in this specification. The aqueous dispersion composition comprising the polyhydroxyurethane resin and a layered clay mineral form composite. The film having a high gas-barrier is produced using the aqueous dispersion or the aqueous dispersion composition.
