The protective film (3) includes a silicone resin composition including 9 wt % or more of cage silsesquioxane and fine particles (4) constituted by glass fine particles or metal oxide fine particles subjected to a surface treatment with a silane compound under predetermined conditions. Thus, the transparent layered structure (1) obtains a high abrasion resistance and a high scratch resistance.

  • Patent number: 8927615
    Abstract: A method and a system for producing a change in a medium disposed in an artificial container. The method places in a vicinity of the medium at least one of a plasmonics agent and an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy through the artificial container to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent.
