  • Patent number: 11771122
    Abstract: The present invention provides a foam body suitable for producing a cultured meat having a good texture. The foam body of the present invention includes alginic acid and/or an alginate. The foam body has an elastic modulus M, as determined by a test, of 8×104 Pa or less. In the test, the foam body is immersed in 22±3° C. water for 4 hours to prepare a specimen having a post-immersion thickness of 5±1 mm. Stress and strain caused in the specimen are measured by applying a load to the specimen for 5 seconds to compress the specimen in a thickness direction at 0.5 mm/sec. A stress caused in the specimen when the specimen is compressed by 10% of an initial thickness is determined, and a value obtained by dividing the stress by a corresponding strain is determined as the elastic modulus M.

  • Publication number: 20230060316
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical resin composition that is less colored and that has a sufficiently low water absorbability. The optical resin composition manufacturing method according to the present invention includes performing a heat treatment of a fluorine-containing polymer under an atmosphere having a water vapor concentration of 100 volppm or less, the fluorine-containing polymer being obtained by polymerization of a monomer group including a fluorine-containing compound having a carbon-carbon double bond using an organic peroxide. In the optical resin composition manufacturing method, for example, the heat treatment causes thermal decomposition of a terminal group of the fluorine-containing polymer and volatilization of a low-molecular compound generated by the thermal decomposition.

  • Patent number: 11252510
    Abstract: A piezoelectric speaker-forming laminate (10) includes: a piezoelectric film (35); a pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17); an interposed layer (40) being a porous body layer and/or a resin layer disposed between the piezoelectric film (35) and the pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17); and a release layer (20) joined to the pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17). The pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17) is disposed in such a manner that at least a portion of the piezoelectric film (35) overlaps the pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17) when the piezoelectric film (35) is viewed in plan. The piezoelectric film (35) and the interposed layer (40) are allowed to be fixed to a support (80) as a piezoelectric speaker or a portion of a piezoelectric speaker by sticking the pressure-sensitive adhesive face (17) from which the release layer (20) has been removed to the support (80).
