  • Publication number: 20240091126
    Abstract: Base coat as an example of a resin composition for a cosmetic is a resin composition for a cosmetic used in a cosmetic to be adhered to nail as a part of living body. The resin composition for a cosmetic includes a stimulus-responsive material that undergoes a volume change by external stimuli, the external stimuli excluding both an external stimulus due to contact with a solvent and an external stimulus due to contact with a solution, and a solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic has a surface with a water contact angle between 30° and 110° (inclusive). The solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic undergoes the volume change by application of the external stimuli to reduce strength of adhesion to the part of living body.

  • Publication number: 20110278692
    Abstract: A solid-state image sensing element includes an effective pixel section in a central area of a light receiving surface thereof, and a ridge-shaped protruding portion is provided around the effective pixel section. A liquid transparent adhesive is applied on the effective pixel section, and a light transparent substrate is placed thereon. The light transparent substrate is in contact with the protruding portion, and is therefore prevented from sliding with the liquid adhesive serving as a lubricant. Thus, the light transparent substrate can be fixed at a predetermined position.
