The present invention provides porous monoliths with high flow permeability that can be produced by polymerising and divinylbenzene in the presence of an initiator, a carboxy-functionalized nitroxide stable free radical and polymeric porogens. The monoliths produced with these stable free radicals functionalized with carboxylic groups feature porosities very different from those produced by polymerizations involving other SFRs, characterized by very large surface areas in combination with relati...

This invention provides a auxiliary material for use with a superconductive material, which auxiliary material is characterized in that MgO alone or MgO and NiO are dispersed in Ag material by internal oxidation. Here, it is preferred that a weight ratio of Ag and MgO or a weight ratio of Ag, MgO and NiO is such that MgO is 0.03 to 3.3 wt % and a balance is Ag. Alternatively, Mgo is 0.01 to 1.7 wt %, NiO is 0.02 to 1.3 wt % and a balance is Ag. The auxiliary material of the present invention is ...

Disclosed is a packaging material for a light-sensitive material, said packaging material comprising a multi-layered structure, wherein said multi-layered structure comprising a layer, said layer containing a polyethylene having a molecular weight distribution of 1.5 to 2.4 in an amount of 20 to 90% by weight of said layer.

A cleaning material designed for removing difficult stains and dirt from smooth and textured surfaces. The material is made of a plurality of flat chisel-like synthetic fibers which are somewhat pliant and protrude from a backing designed to hold the fibers in place. The material may be embodied in the shape of a mitt to fit over the hand of the user with a backing suitable to protect the user's hands. The material may also be configured in other fashions and in combination with different backin...

An embodiment of an encapsulated organic optoelectronic device is described. The encapsulated device includes a hybrid getter film which is composed of a getter and a handling agent.

A photocatalytic material which comprises a resin base and photocatalyst particles tenaciously deposited thereon in such a manner that the function of the photocatalyst is not impaired. Even when the photocatalytic material is used over long, the photocatalyst particles are less apt to shed and the resin base is less apt to deteriorate. In the photocatalytic material, the photocatalyst particles have been bonded to the base by chemical bonding through a silane compound. The photocatalytic materi...

A material composition comprises, on the one hand, a particulate material and, on the other hand, a binder which is provided as a coating on the material particles. The binder has at least two solid phases (13, 14), of which one harder phase (14) is configurationally stable and a softer phase (13) is plastic and readily deformable at temperatures below the melting point of the binder. A method for producing the above material comprises the steps that at least two components included in the binde...
