  • Publication number: 20190136044
    Abstract: A polyester resin composition for vibration-damping material containing a thermoplastic polyester resin (A) constituted of a dicarboxylic acid component and a diol component, a plasticizer (B) represented by the general formula (I): wherein each of A1 and A2 is independently an alkyl group having 4 or more carbon atoms and 18 or less carbon atoms, an aralkyl group having 7 or more carbon atoms and 18 or less carbon atoms, or a mono- or diether of a (poly)oxyalkylene adduct thereof; n is 0 or 1; X is any one of —SO2—, —O—, —CR1R2—, and —S—, wherein each of R1 and R2 is independently H or an alkyl group having 4 or less carbon atoms, and wherein each of R3 and R4 is independently any one of —O—, —CO—, and —CH2—, with proviso that a case where both R3 and R4 are —O— is excluded, and an inorganic filler (C).

  • FAN
    Publication number: 20190071554
    Abstract: A fan containing a polyester resin composition containing a thermoplastic polyester resin (A) constituted of a dicarboxylic acid component and a diol component, including, for example, polybutylene terephthalate resin, polytrimethylene terephthalate resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, and the like, one or more members selected from the group consisting of plasticizers and elastomers (B), and an inorganic filler (C). Since the fan of the present invention has a short vibration time even while having a high flexural modulus as a structural member, in the manufactured product equipment or apparatus or structured article that generates vibrations or noises, even when a fan is placed in the surroundings of the sources of vibrations or noises, the generated vibrations are damped and consequently excellent effects are exhibited that extraneous vibrations pertaining to properties of manufactured products or apparatus or unpleasant vibrations or vibrating sounds or noises are reduced.
