Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The non-aqueous electrolyte contains a lithium salt and a carboxylic acid, and the lithium salt includes lithium difluorophosphate. The content of the carboxylic acid in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 5 ppm or more and 900 ppm or less with respect to the mass of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

Abstract: A deicing coating composition characterized in that the composition comprises a synthetic resin coating composition of the organic solvent type, at least one fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of urethane, phosphate, phosphonic acid derivative, phosphinic acid derivative, polyether, polyester and polyvinyl compounds having a perfluoroalkyl group with 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and when required, an alkali metal compound of the formulaMa.sym.X.crclbar.wherein M is an alkali metal, X is an inorganic acid radical, hydroxyl group or organic acid radical, and a is an integer of from 1 to 4.

Abstract: A perfluoroalkylvinyl copolymer comprising (a) repeating units of the formula:--CHRfCH.sub.2 -- (I)wherein Rf is a C.sub.5 -C.sub.21 perfluoroalkyl group, and (b) repeating units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein Y is --OR.sup.1, --OCOR.sup.1 or --COOR.sup.1 and Z is a hydrogen atom or --COOR.sup.2 in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are, the same or different, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group with the proviso that when Y is --OR.sup.1 or --OCOR.sup.1, Z is an hydrogen atom, and R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 alkyl group, which is useful as a mold release agent, a water- and oil-repellent and a non-tackifier.

Abstract: A novel copolymer comprising(a) repeating units of the formula:--OCH[(CH.sub.2).sub.p R.sub.f ]CH.sub.2 -- (Ia)or--OCH.sub.2 CH[(CH.sub.2).sub.p R.sub.f ]-- (Ib)wherein R.sub.f is C.sub.3 -C.sub.21 perfluoroalkyl and p is an integer of 1 to 10 and(b) repeating units of the formula:--(OCH.sub.2).sub.m (CH.sub.2).sub.n -- (II)wherein m is an integer of 1 to 4 and n is an integer of 2 to 10 when m is 1, an integer of 1 to 8 when m is 2 or an integer of 0 to (12-2m) when m is 3 or 4,--OCH.sub.2 CR.sup.1 R.sup.2 CH.sub.2 -- (III)wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each hydrogen, CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 Cl, CH.sub.2 F, CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 OC.sub.2 H.sub.5, CH.sub.2 OCOCH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 OC.sub.6 H.sub.5, CH.sub.2 OH or CH.sub.2 CN provided that at least one of them is not hydrogen,--OCH.sub.2 (OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.q -- (IV)wherein q is 2 or 3, and/or--[(R.sup.3).sub.r --COO]-- (V)wherein R.sup.3 is CH.sub.2 or CF.sub.
