Abstract: The infrared absorption filter of the present invention has a transmittance of not higher than 30% in the near-infrared region in the wavelength range of 800 to 1100 nm; a difference of 10% or less between a maximum value and a minimum value of transmittance in the visible light region in the wavelength range of 450 to 650 nm; and a transmittance of not lower than 50% at a wavelength of 550 nm, the filter being so excellent in environmental stability that after being left to stand in the air atmosphere at a temperature of 60° C. and a humidity of 95% for 1000 hours, the filter can maintain said spectral property in said range. Consequently, when used for a plasma display or the like, the filter can absorb the unwanted infrared rays radiated from the display, resulting in preventing erroneous operation of a remote control using infrared radiation even in such a high-temperature and high-humidity environment.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a high water-absorbent resin composition, produced by forming a composite by fusing or fixing a thermoplastic resin onto a surface of a high water-absorbent resin via an adhesive binder or directly, wherein the composition comprises from 1 to 100 parts by weight of the thermoplastic resin, based on 100 parts by weight of the high water-absorbent resin.When the high water-absorbent resin composition of the present invention is used, it is possible to securely adhere a high water-absorbent resin to a fibrous base material, so that a water-absorbent material which stably retains the high water-absorbent resin even after absorbing water can be obtained. Accordingly, the base materials, such as fibrous base materials, can retain more amount of high water-absorbent resin than those of conventional water-absorbent materials.
