Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a porous membrane. The method allows: avoidance of use of a solvent that places a large load on the environment; relatively easy control of parameters such as the porosity and the pore diameter; and high chemical stability of a resultant porous membrane. The method for producing a porous membrane of the present invention includes the steps of: preparing an epoxy resin composition containing an epoxy resin, a curing agent represented by H2N—(CH2)n—NH2 where n is an integer from 4 to 8, and a porogen; forming a cured product of the epoxy resin composition into a sheet shape or curing a sheet-shaped formed body of the epoxy resin composition, so as to obtain an epoxy resin sheet; and removing the porogen from the epoxy resin sheet by means of a halogen-free solvent.

Abstract: Terminals on the buyer side and the seller side intercommunicate with a host to execute a processing of cross trading by subscription based on purchase information issued on the buyer side, a processing of cross trading by subscription based on selling information issued on the seller side, and a processing of trading where a plurality of pieces of purchase information is collated with a plurality of pieces selling information and commitments are made one by one in order of agreement. Since the generally called future delivery trading can be made on a network, both the buyer side and the seller side can make a selling plan or a purchasing plan without going to a wholesale market and can make a transaction of commodity by using their own terminals. The buyer side and the seller side can be provided with more chance than ever and can make commodity exchange more efficiently.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of preparing a photographic solid fine-grain dispersion, the method comprising the steps of: successively bringing a slurry of a water-insoluble photographically useful compound in a grinding chamber of a dispersing machine, which chamber is filled with media, allowing the compound to contact the media in the grinding chamber, to produce fine grains of the compound successively, successively separating the media from the compound by centrifugal force, and taking the compound out of the grinding chamber, using specific media with given physical properties. There is also disclosed a dispersion obtained by the method. According to the method, the photographic solid fine-grain dispersion is prepared efficiently, without coarse grains or abrasion materials resulting from media or so, and the dispersion causes no defect when coated in a form of a coating film.
