Publication number: 20130017391Abstract: There is provided a resin foam excellent in dustproofness and assemblability. The resin foam has a repulsive stress at 80% compression (repulsive stress when a resin foam is compressed by 80% of the initial thickness) of 1.0 to 9.0 N/cm2 and a tensile modulus of elasticity of 5.0 to 14.0 MPa. Preferably, the resin foam further has an average cell diameter of 10 to 180 ?m and an apparent density of 0.01 to 0.10 g/cm3.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazumichi KATO, Makoto SAITOU, Itsuhiro HATANAKA, Kiyoaki KODAMA

Publication number: 20130011657Abstract: There is provided a polyester elastomer which is excellent in compression set characteristics and has a micro cell structure. The polyester elastomer foam is formed by allowing a polyester elastomer composition containing a polyester elastomer having a melting point of 180 to 240° C. and an epoxy-modified polymer to expand. The epoxy-modified polymer is an epoxy-modified polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 100,000 and an epoxy equivalent of 100 to 3000 g/eq.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 3, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazumichi KATO, Makoto SAITOU, Kiyoaki KODAMA, Itsuhiro HATANAKA
