  • Patent number: 11724483
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to, in a resin film containing an anti-blocking agent (organic polymer particles), achieve both a reduction in friction of the film and suppression of dropping-off of particles from the film surface. The laminated resin film of the present invention has a base film layer and a surface layer, and the surface layer contains organic polymer particles serving as an anti-blocking agent. The number proportion of the organic polymer particles having a particle size that is at least twice the average thickness of the surface layer is 35% or more of the total number of the organic polymer particles, and the number proportion of the organic polymer particles having a particle size that is at least four times the average thickness of the surface layer is 10% or less of the total number of the organic polymer particles.

  • Publication number: 20210355926
    Abstract: A gas compressor compressing gas includes a cylinder liner, a piston member, and a first sliding member. The piston member includes a piston reciprocating in an inner space of the cylinder liner, and a piston rod connected to the piston. The first sliding member is made of a resin, has a ring shape, and is provided on one of the piston member and the cylinder liner. The first sliding member slides relatively against a reception member while another of the piston member and the cylinder liner serves as the reception member that receives sliding. An amorphous carbon film is formed on a sliding surface of each of the first sliding member and the reception member. A carbon content in the amorphous carbon film formed on each of the sliding surfaces is larger in its surface part than in its inner part on an inner side of the surface part.
