Abstract: A compressor includes a swash plate, and a shoe connected to an outer periphery of the swash plate. A surface of the swash plate slides upon a flat surface of the shoe. A sliding film is applied to the surface of the swash plate. The sliding film is formed of binder resin which contains a solid lubricant and titanium oxide powder. This allows the surface of the swash plate and the flat surface of the shoe to smoothly slide upon each other.

Abstract: A slide member of the present invention is a slide member having a substrate (10) made of a metal; and a sliding layer (20) of a resinous powder being sintered integrally on at least one of the surfaces of the substrate (10), and is characterized in that it includes a solid-lubricant powder in the sliding layer (20). Further, it can be one having an intermediate layer, which intervenes between the substrate (10) and the sliding layer (20), and which is composed of a metal differing from that of the substrate (10). The slide member of the present invention is such that the adhesiveness is high, and has good sliding characteristics.

Abstract: A compressor has a swash plate and shoes. Surfaces of the swash plate slides on flat surfaces of the shoes. A sliding film is formed on each of the swash plate surfaces. The sliding films are formed of a polyamide-imide resin that contains at least solid lubricant. The polyamide-amide resin has a glass transition temperature of 270° C., a tensile strength at room temperature of 200 MPa, or more imide groups than amide groups. When a base portion of the swash plate is made of an aluminum-based metal, the sliding films are formed on the base portion with middle layers made of anodized aluminum in between.

Abstract: A paint composition including a surface-modified fluoro-resin powder and a dispersion medium for dispersing the fluoro-resin powder, with the dispersion medium containing a heat-resistant resin and a solvent for dissolving the heat-resistant resin. The paint composition is useful for painting a sliding part, such as parts of a compressor. In particular, the paint composition is useful for forming a resin layer on sliding surfaces that contains the surface-modified fluoro-resin powder and heat-resistant resin for enhancing sliding properties of these surfaces.

Abstract: A swash plate is operably connected through a lug plate and a hinge mechanism to a drive shaft, and slidably retained on an end part of each piston through a pair of front and rear shoes. A rotational motion of the swash plate following rotation of the drive shaft is converted through the shoes into a reciprocating motion of each piston. A thermoplastic polyimide coating is formed on the swash plate and the shoes as sliding components of a compressor. The thermoplastic polyimide coating may contain a solid lubricant. For the solid lubricant, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene is used. Thus, it is possible to obtain a compressor, which includes the sliding components having improved sliding characteristics, and is manufactured relatively easily.

Abstract: A paint composition includes a layer organic-inorganic composite, and titanium alkoxide in an amount of from 1 to 50 parts by weight with respect to the layer organic-inorganic composite taken as 100 parts by weight. The layer organic-inorganic composite is composed of a laminated substance. The laminated substance includes a tetrahedral structural layer and an octahedral structural layer. The tetrahedral structural layer is made of tetrahedral structures whose central atom M? is Si or a first metallic atom substituting for a part the Si, at least a part of the central atom M? covalent-bonded to an organic group R involving or free from a polymerizable functional group. The octahedral structural layer is made of octahedral structures whose central atom M is a second metallic atom.

Abstract: A paint composition includes a raw polymer, and a dry solvent for dissolving the raw polymer. The raw polymer is composed of a transparent polymer having a hydroxyl group, and polysilazane.

Also disclosed are a process for producing a transparent protective film using the paint composition, and organic glass using the same. Note that the organic glass exhibits a surface hardness of 0.4 GPa or more.

Abstract: An aqueous solution containing sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide is used for a soft etchant in a soft etching step in a smear removing process performed prior to a catalyst applying process for chemical copper plating after formation of via holes through an insulating layer of a multi-layer substrate by irradiation of laser. The concentration of sulfuric acid is 2.4 times or less than the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Preferably, the concentration of sulfuric acid is in a range of 9 to 90 g/l, and the concentration of sulfuric acid is lower than the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. More preferably, the concentration of sulfuric acid is in a range of 9 to 18 g/l, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is in a range of 33 to 38.5 g/l. As a result, smear can be certainly removed without excessively etching a conductive layer in the smear removing process.
