  • Patent number: 11634639
    Abstract: A polarizing film including a polarizer that is a cured product of a polymerizable liquid crystal composition is provided. The polymerizable liquid crystal composition contains both a polymerizable liquid crystal compound having at least one polymerizable group and a dichroic coloring matter. The polarizer is laminated on a surface, having a pore size of 0.45 nm to 0.57 nm, of a base material. The pore size is obtained by converting, into a diameter, an average free volume radius calculated by a positron lifetime measurement method in which the positron lifetime is measured by irradiating the surface with positrons with an injection energy of 3 kV.

  • Patent number: 11196049
    Abstract: Provided are excellent coated lithium-nickel composite oxide particles with which it is possible, due to the high environmental stability thereof, to minimize the incidence of impurities owing to absorption of moisture and carbon dioxide gas, said particles having high adhesiveness such that the coating layer does not easily delaminate, and having lithium-ion conductivity. The coated lithium-nickel composite oxide particles, in which an electroconductive polymer is cross-linked to the lithium-nickel composite oxide particles by a three-dimensional structure, are electrically and ionically conductive, and the compound is capable of suppressing the transmission of moisture and carbon dioxide. It is therefore possible to provide coated lithium-nickel composite oxide particles for a lithium-ion cell positive-electrode active substance that is excellent for use in a lithium-ion cell.
