Abstract: To provide a hydrophilic coating film that excels not only in initial humidification performance, but also in long-term humidification performance as well as to provide a production method for the hydrophilic coating film, and a humidification element. A hydrophilic coating film (7) contains porous silica gel particles (3), fine inorganic particles (2) having an average particle diameter smaller than an average pore diameter of the silica gel particles (3), and a thickener (8). A production method for the hydrophilic coating film (7) coats a base material (1) with a coating composition and dries the coated base material (1), the coating composition containing water (6), a thickener (6), porous silica gel particles (3), and fine inorganic particles (2) having an average particle diameter smaller than an average pore diameter of the silica gel particles (3).

Abstract: The coating composition of the present invention is characterized in that hydrophobic microparticles, and flat-shaped microparticles forming a card-house aggregate structure, are dispersed in a binder resin dissolved in a solvent. Preferably, the aspect ratio of table faces and end faces of the flat-shaped microparticles is 10 or higher. Preferably, the average particle size of the flat-shaped microparticles in an aggregated state ranges from 125 nm to 200 ?m. The coating composition of the present invention can form a coating film having few cracks and can impart high water repellency and high oil repellency without the need for a complex operation.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a self-supporting thin polymer membrane having a large surface area, a high strength, and a perpendicularly oriented cylindrical structure, and to provide a method of producing the membrane. [Solution] The self-supporting thin polymer membrane of the present invention is a self-supporting thin polymer membrane including a block copolymer in which a hydrophilic polymer component and a hydrophobic polymer component having a crosslinkable structure are linked to each other by covalent bonding, and in the self-supporting thin polymer membrane, the hydrophilic polymer component forms unidirectionally oriented cylinders, and the hydrophobic polymer component forms crosslinks. The self-supporting thin polymer membrane of the present invention does not have physical pores but allows a material to selectively permeate the cylindrical portions and can be therefore used as various permeable membranes, ultrafiltration membranes, and nanoreactors.
