Abstract: A nonwoven fabric, particularly composed by long-stock synthetic resin yarns such as polyethylene and polypropylene is provided at one or both surfaces thereof with an ink-setting layer formed by coating, drying and curing a resin composition containing some of acrylic resins, synthetic rubbers and polyester resins. The ink-setting layer is excellent in the transfer property and fixing ability to an oil ink which is ordinarily used for offset printing, and prevents the nonwoven fabric from being swelled or transformed by a petroleum high-boiling-point solvent contained in the oil ink. Preferably, a low-temperature cross-linking agent is incorporated with the resin composition of the ink-setting layer so as to complete cross-linking of the resin composition at a low temperature at which heat shrinkage or heat damage of the nonwoven fabric will not be caused, in a shortened period of time.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring stress of viscoelastic material in which a rotational die and a torque detecting die are provided, an outer cylindrical die is provided around the torque detecting die, the diameter of the rotational die is arranged to be larger than the diameter of the outer cylindrical die, and the surface forming one part of a sample chamber has such configuration that a slipping of the sample contained in the sample chamber is prevented, so that a shearing speed having no disorder can be given to the sample mounted all over a surface, forming the sample chamber, of the torque detecting die.
