Abstract: The present invention provides a coating agent composition capable of making interference fringes inconspicuous and suppressing the generation of cracks during the production of a hard coat layer without blending fine particles of metal oxides such as zirconium oxide and titanium oxide in an optical article in which a hard coat layer or a functional layer including a primer layer and a hard coat layer is formed on a plastic layer having a high refractive index. The coating agent composition comprises a trifunctional silane coupling agent and a bifunctional silane coupling agent in a solid content ratio of 95:5 to 10:90.

Abstract: The present invention provides a composition for forming a hard coat and a laminate using the same. The composition for forming a hard coat includes at least metal oxide fine particles; a hydrolysate of an organosilicon compound; an adhesion promoting component having an alkoxysilyl group; a curing catalyst; and a solvent, wherein by introducing, as the organosilicon compound, an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (6 to 18) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, and an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (1 to 5) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, even when applied to a flexible resin substrate, the composition for forming a hard coat has excellent adhesion and scratch resistance, and bending resistance (crack resistance) and surface hardness as well.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a means for promoting the in vivo absorption of hydroxytyrosol or a derivative thereof, prolonging the in vivo residence time, and sustaining the effect. As a result of in-depth studies, the present inventors discovered that the in vivo absorption of hydroxytyrosol or a derivative thereof can be promoted and the in vivo residence time can be prolonged by using hydroxytyrosol or a derivative thereof in combination with a compound having a galloyl group.

Abstract: An integral type air conditioner includes an interior heat exchanger, an interior blower, an exterior heat exchanger, an exterior blower, an interior motor, and an exterior motor. In addition, a partition member separates the interior heat exchanger and the interior blower at the interior side from the exterior heat exchanger, the exterior blower, the interior motor and the exterior motor at the exterior side.

Abstract: The present invention provides(1) a method for preparing lipid powder for use in the preparing liposome, which comprises supplying at a constant speed an organic solvent solution of lipids having liposome membrane forming ability to a tubular heater heated externally, evaporating the organic solvent in the heater to prepare a mixture substantially of solids and organic solvent vapor and introducing this mixture at a high speed into a vacuum chamber of not more than 300 mm Hg, to volatilize the organic solvent instantaneously and dry the solids, and(2) a method for preparing liposomes comprising dispersing the lipid powder obtained by the above method (1) into an aqueous solvent.
