  • Patent number: 7494206
    Abstract: A method of producing a liquid ejection head comprising: a flow path forming substrate in which a space including pressure generating chambers and an ink reserving chamber is formed; a nozzle plate which is stacked on one face of the flow path forming substrate; and a vibration plate which is stacked on the other face of the flow path forming substrate is provided. The flow path forming substrate is formed by a monocrystal silicon substrate in which a plane of crystal plane orientation of (110) is the surface.

  • Patent number: 6653437
    Abstract: A process for producing oxidative cross-linked polyarylene sulfide using a reaction apparatus including a reaction vessel provided with a resin inlet, a gas inlet, a resin outlet, and a gas outlet, and a transverse type heating member having a helical structure which is rotatable around a central shaft disposed in the reaction vessel. The process includes the step of supplying heated oxygen containing gas to the polyarylene sulfide from the downward direction of the transverse type heating member while the polyarylene sulfide is heated and agitated by the rotation of the transverse type heating member to carry out an oxidative cross-linking reaction of the polyarylene sulfide. According to the process, it becomes possible to increase the productivity and the gas components present in polyarylene sulfide can be effectively removed when the melt viscosity of polyarylene sulfide is increased to a desired degree after polymerizing the polyarylene sulfide.
