Abstract: Disclosed is a print medium for high speed, digital inkjet printing, which has high brightness and is resistant to yellowing. The print medium includes a base paper formed from a fiber furnish containing at least 30% by weight of mechanical pulp, and a coating layer formed on at least one surface of the base paper. The coating layer contains a metallic salt, a combination of two different binders at a predetermined ratio, and at least one inorganic pigment. A method of making the print medium is also disclosed.

Abstract: A coating solution comprising: (A) an aragonite-type light calcium carbonate microparticle having an average major axis diameter of 1.0 to 2.8 ?m and an average minor axis diameter of 0.15 to 0.3 ?m, which is produced by diluting a calcium hydroxide slurry that has been treated by high-speed shearing until the slurry has a viscosity of 1000 cP or more at a concentration of 400 g/l to a concentration more than 50 g/l and then blowing carbon dioxide into the diluted slurry at a reaction starting temperature of 20 to 60° C. and at a rate of 1 to 3 l/min per kg of calcium hydroxide; and (B) a pigment comprising a wet heavy calcium carbonate cake. The coating solution enables to provide a coated paper having an excellent degree of brilliance and an excellent degree of whiteness, despite containing no kaolin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a one-component structural adhesive having a flow limit of at least 1500 Pa and an initial adhesion of more than 30 g/cm2, which contains at least one thickening agent and/or at least one filler. The invention further relates to the manufacture of such one-component structural adhesives and to the use of one or more thickening agents and/or one or more fillers for the manufacture of solid to kneadable one-component structural adhesive compounds having high initial adhesion.

Abstract: Paper coating formulations having a reduced level of binder and processes for their manufacture are disclosed. Specifically, the paper coating formulations comprise a paper coating pigment and a binder. The binder comprises a strongly associated adhesive material that can bind to the other components, such as pigments, that is less prone to depletion from paper coating formulations into a paper web during use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioadhesive derived from mussel. In particular, it relates to a novel Mytilus galloprovincialis foot protein type 5 (MGFP-5) and a recombinant protein that is a hybrid of MGFP-5 and foot protein type 1 (FP-1), where an adhesive protein with adhesive activity can be economically mass-produced to be used in place of chemical adhesives through the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a castable, aerogel-based, ultra-low thermal conductivity opacified insulation to suppress sublimation. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aerogel opacified with various opacifying or reflecting constituents to suppress sublimation and provide thermal insulation in thermoelectric modules. The opacifying constituent can be graded within the aerogel for increased sublimation suppression, and the density of the aerogel can similarly be graded to achieve optimal thermal insulation and sublimation suppression.

Abstract: A coating material and method of manufacture for radiation surfaces which produce electromagnetic waves is disclosed. The coating material consists of 55 to 65% mole fraction of a base material and 35 to 45% mole fraction of graphite. The base material contains a binding agent, insulating agent, dispersing agent, and distilled water mixed together. The binding agent is comprised of distilled water, sulfated oil, phenolene or benzoisothiazolinon, casein, urea, alkali diluent and caprolactam. The method for producing the coating material includes the steps of creating the binding agent, mixing the binding agent with the other base components, and finally, mixing in the graphite. The result is a coating material with a plurality of dipoles that produces a high degree of radiation of electromagnetic waves when in a state of excitation.
