Abstract: A polyaniline is highly conductive and less corrosive when it contains up to 7 mol % of benzenoid-ammonium salt state and up to 25 mol % of quinoid-diimine state, based on the total molar amount of the polyaniline.

Abstract: An electric cell comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte containing a lithium salt is provided wherein the negative electrode has a two-layer structure of a lithium-aluminum alloy layer and an aluminum layer. The cell is fabricated by placing a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte in a cell container comprising positive and negative electrode casings, and forming a seal between the positive and negative electrode casings. The negative electrode is electrochemically formed in situ in the cell container from a lithium-clad aluminum substrate.

Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell is provided which comprises a positive electrode active material of a modified vanadium pentoxide, a negative electrode active material of lithium or lithium alloy, and a non-aqueous electrolyte.

Abstract: A vulcanizable rubber composition having an excellent adhesive property when vulcanized in contact with metals is obtained by compounding(a) 100 parts by weight of a raw rubber(b) from 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of a vulcanizing agent, and(c) from 0.01 to 1 part by weight (as metal content) of at least one metal compound selected from the class consisting of organic acid salts of titanium and molybdenum and organic complex compounds of titanium, molybdenum and cobalt.The vulcanizable rubber composition thus obtained is not susceptible to the oxidative deterioration in unvulcanized state during the storage.

Abstract: A novel coating composition can be obtained by compounding 100 parts by weight of (A) acetylene-conjugated random copolymer having an acetylene unit content of 5-60 mol% and a block character P of 0.8-1.2 and 5-1,000 parts by weight of (B) carbon-carbon double bond-containing compound. The resulting coating composition shows a rapid curing velocity, which has never been seen, and provides an excellent coating film.When the above described composition is added with (C) a curing promoter or a radical initiator, the curing velocity is more increased and when the above described composition is added with (D) a filler or a pigment, excellent coating films suitable for various applications can be formed.

Abstract: An epoxidized acetylene-conjugated diene random copolymer, of which epoxy equivalent is within the range of from 50 to 1,000, is obtained by epoxidizing an acetylene-conjugated diene random copolymer, in which acetylene and conjugated diene are bonded linearly and randomly, the block character P is within the range of from 0.8 to 1.2 and the acetylene content is less than 60 mol%, with an organic peracid. The epoxidized acetylene-conjugated diene random copolymer is more reactive than the crude random copolymer and yields an excellent film, a coating material or a shaped article. Further by adding some of curing agents to the epoxidized acetylene-conjugated diene random copolymer, the cure rate of the epoxidized copolymer is fairly enhanced.
