  • Publication number: 20210292492
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to manufacture a bright-hued modified cellulose fiber blended resin composition more easily than before while utilizing a method of defibrillating a cellulose fiber and uniformly dispersing a cellulose nanofiber in a resin. A method for manufacturing the modified cellulose fiber blended resin composition includes: (i) a step of adding 5 to 45 parts by mass of water with respect to 100 parts by mass of a modified cellulose fiber (A) modified with a hydrophobizing agent (a) to obtain a hydrous cellulose fiber (A?); and (ii) a step of defibrillating the modified cellulose fiber while kneading the hydrous cellulose fiber (A?) with a thermoplastic resin and/or a rubber (B), and removing the water to attain a water content ratio of 1% or less after kneading.

  • Patent number: 9512304
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a resin composition, which, by means of simple steps, can uniformly disperse microfibrillated plant fiber in a highly hydrophobic resin and can impart enhanced mechanical strength to a molding material obtained by molding the resin composition. The present invention further provides a resin composition having excellent heat resistance and low linear thermal expansion. The present invention relates to a method for producing a resin composition, the method including a step of mixing a thermoplastic resin or thermosetting resin (A), and modified plant fiber (b) or modified microfibrillated plant fiber (B), in the presence of an organic liquid (C), the modified plant fiber (b) or modified microfibrillated plant fiber (B) being obtained by modification with an alkyl or alkenyl succinic anhydride in a liquid capable of swelling microfibrillated plant fiber (B?) or plant fiber (b).

  • Patent number: 7709232
    Abstract: The present invention relate to a method of detecting a genetic recombinant by using the PCR method. A method of quantitatively detecting method is provided whereby the total content ratio of the genetic recombinants and the individual content ratio of the genetic recombinant in a population containing plural genetic recombinant lines can be quantified. The method of the present invention comprises performing PCR for the DNA sequence specific to the recombinant and the endogenous DNA sequence shared by the species corresponding to the recombinant using, as a standard molecule, a molecule containing the DNA sequence specific to the recombinant and the endogenous DNA sequence shared by the species on the single molecule, and determining the content ratio of the number of molecules thereof.

  • Publication number: 20090071384
    Abstract: In an embroidery sewing machine, an embroidery frame support device for supporting a front end portion of an embroidery frame installed in a cantilevered manner includes: a base member that is a base for attaching the embroidery frame support device to the embroidery sewing machine, and a Y slide rail (support member) having a movable end that can move relatively with the base member. The embroidery frame support device supports a front end portion of the embroidery frame from a lower surface thereof through an X slide rail attached to a tip portion of the Y slide rail. The embroidery frame support device can be attached to the embroidery sewing machine by screwing a base member to a cylinder bed. The screwing of the base member to the cylinder bed can be carried out from the upper side of a sewing machine table.
