Abstract: Polyamide pre-expanded particles of this disclosure have a peak temperature of a maximum endothermic peak of 150-275° C. on a DSC curve obtained while being heated from 30° C. to 280° C. at a heating rate of 10° C./min using a DSC. The width of the peak is 30-80° C. when a straight line approximating the DSC curve on a high-temperature side relative to the peak after an end of melting is used as a baseline. The width corresponds to a difference between an extrapolated melting start temperature which is a temperature at an intersection point between a tangent line at an inflection point of the peak on a low-temperature side and the baseline, and an extrapolated melting end temperature which is a temperature at an intersection point between a tangent line at an inflection point of the peak on a high-temperature side and the baseline.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a composite material laminate excellent in impact resistance and vibration damping property. The present disclosure is a composite material laminate including a metal substrate, an adhesive layer formed on a surface of the metal substrate, and a foamed body layer formed on a surface of the adhesive layer, wherein a shear fracture strength (S) at an interface between the metal substrate and the adhesive layer is 1.0 MPa or more, and (S/F) determined by dividing the shear fracture strength (S) at the interface by a bending elastic modulus (F) of the foamed body layer is 0.007 or more and 0.5 or less.

Abstract: Provided are a foam molded product and a method of producing the same. The foam molded product is a molded product containing a resin and including a surface layer, a compressive deformation layer, and a foam layer. The thickness of the surface layer is 0.1 mm to 5.0 mm. The compressive deformation layer is located between the surface layer and the foam layer. Foam particles forming the compressive deformation layer have an average H/L of 0.5 or less (H: length in compression direction; L: length in perpendicular direction relative to compression direction). Foam particles forming the foam layer have an expansion ratio of not less than 3.0 times and less than 30 times.

Abstract: A wire grid polarizing plate (10) has a substrate (11) having a concavo-convex structure extending in a particular direction on its surface, and a conductive material (12) provided to be distributed on one side surface (11b) of a convex portion (11a) of the concavo-convex structure. Further, in the wire grid polarizing plate (10), in a cross-sectional view in the perpendicular direction to the extension direction of the concavo-convex structure, a pitch P1 that is a distance between two adjacent convex portions (11a) is set at 120 nm or less, and a convex-portion height (H) that is a difference in height between a highest portion (11c) of the convex portion (11a) and a lowest portion (11e) of a concave portion (11d) is set at 0.8 time to 1.3 time the pitch P1. With the wire grid polarizing plate (10) in a liquid crystal display device, high image quality can be achieved.

Abstract: A dielectric layer 2 is formed on a region including grid-shaped convex portions 1a of a resin substrate 1 having the grid-shaped convex portions 1a with pitches of 80 nm to 120 nm on its surface, and metal wires 3 are formed on the dielectric layer 2. It is thereby possible to obtain a wire grid polarizer having a microstructural concavo-convex grid with pitches of the level of 120 nm or less that has not been implemented.
