Abstract: An electrode sheet which is made by applying a coating solution prepared by dispersing graft polymer which is obtained by graft polymerizing an organic monomer and at least one of activated carbon and carbon black into a solvent over surfaces of a collector followed by drying and heat-treating. An electric double layer capacitor having a constitution of laminating a separator and the electrode sheet. An electrode sheet produced by forming polarizable electrodes strongly at ease over surfaces of collectors such as metal foil whose adhesion strength between the collector and the polarizable electrode hardly decreasing even by gases generated with repetition of charging and discharging electricity, oscillation or so and further, capable of maintaining characteristics such as internal resistance and so on favorably for a long term is provided.

Abstract: A highly reactive aromatic hydrocarbon-formaldehyde resin having a diarlymethane content of not more than 5% by weight, essentially containing reactive groups of any one of CH.sub.2 OH, CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3 and CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3 at both molecular terminals and having a xylenol value of at least 15 mol/kg as an index of reactivity with a compound having active hydrogen atoms is prepared by reacting an aromatic hydrocarbon such as xylene, mesitylene or naphthalene with formaldehyde at a molar ratio of the formaldehyde to the aromatic hydrocarbon of 2.0 to 5.0, a sulfuric acid concentration of 15 to 35% by weight in an aqueous layer and a reaction temperature of 80.degree. to 110.degree. C. while controlling a formaldehyde conversion within a range of 50 to 70% by mole over the range 4 to 8 hours.

Abstract: A process for producing an oligoester which comprises:(a) the step of reacting isophthalic acid and propylene oxide in a reaction medium in the presence of a specific catalyst comprising a tetraalkyl ammonium compound to prepare an oligoester, and(b) the step of removing volatile components from the resulting oligoester by heating the oligoester at a temperature of 180.degree.-280.degree. C. is disclosed. The oligoester is used as an intermediate for preparing unsaturated polyesters.

Abstract: Processes for producing an oligoester and producing unsaturated polyester resin by use of the oligoester using unsaturated dibasic acid or its anhydride and isophthalic acid as dibasic acid components, and propylene oxide as a polyol component, characterized by (a) the step of reacting isophthalic acid with propylene oxide in the presence of an amine compound catalyst to form an oligoester, (b) the step of removing volatile components from the oligoester by heating it at a temperature range of 180.degree.-300.degree. C., (c) the step of treating the resulting oligoester with silica-alumina compound having adsorbing property, and (d) the step of reacting the oligoester so treated with the unsaturated dibasic acid or its anhydride.
