Abstract: A monolayer membrane containing gelling polymer particles having at least one of a basic functional group and an acidic functional group, and having a thickness of less than 5 ?m. A composite having a porous carrier and gelling polymer particles having at least any one of a basic functional group and an acidic functional group and filling up the surface pores of the porous carrier. The invention can provide a novel material capable of efficiently separating an acid gas from a mixed gas.

Abstract: A laminate having excellent flameproofing and low-smoke development is disclosed. The laminate comprises an urethane modified polyisocyanurate foam as a core material and an aluminum foil or sheet as a surface material piled on at least one surface of the foam through a self-adhesion of the foam and passes Grade 2 incombustibility according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A-1321 combustion test.

Abstract: A method of producing flameproof polyisocyanurate foams is disclosed. When the foam is produced by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with polyols as a modifying agent in the presence of an isocyanate trimerization catalyst, a blowing agent and other additives, a combination of particular low molecular weight diols with particular high molecular weight polyether polyols is used as the polyol in a special weight ratio and a special total amount per 100 parts by weight of the organic polyisocyanate in the presence of special combination of an alkali metal salt of a carboxylic acid and a tertiary amine compound as the catalyst.

Abstract: Polyisocyanurate foams having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance are produced by using no common organic silicone surfactant or using less than 0.2% by weight based on an organic polyisocyanate, of said organic silicone surfactant, when producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate and if necessary a surfactant, a modifier and the other additives.

Abstract: An excellent flame- and smoke-retardant non-shrinkable polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyhydroxyl compound consisting of(A) a polyol having at least two hydroxyl groups and having a molecular weight of from 1,000 to 10,000, and(B) an aliphatic amino alcohol, the amount of which is 2.1 to 8.0 equivalents per hydroxyl group of the polyol (A) with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of water and/or other blowing agents, catalysts and surfactants.The polyurethane foam thus obtained has high resilience together with an improved S.A.G. factor.

Abstract: An excellent flame- and smoke-resistant flexible polyurethane foam is produced by reacting a polyisocyanate with a mixture ofA. polyether polyol containing secondary hydroxyl group of at least 50 mol% of total hydroxyl content and having a number average molecular weight of 3,000-6,000 andB. a low molecular weight polyhydroxyl compound, an equivalent weight ratio of said low molecular weight polyhydroxyl compound (B) to said polyether polyol (A) being 0.5-2.0, if desired, the flame retardancy of the foam may be enhanced by the addition of a small amount of flame retardant.

Abstract: A flexible elastomer resin having an improved impact resistance and strength is produced by reacting an acid anhydride group functional polymer, which is prepared by reacting a hydroxyl group functional polymer having a number average molecular weight of 400 to 10,000 and containing at least two hydroxyl groups at the end or the side chain with a tricarboxylic acid anhydride monohalide, with at least one nitrogen compound having polyfunctional active hydrogens and at least one epoxy resin having at least one epoxy group.
