A method for producing a tire sidewall rubber member according to an embodiment comprises: a first kneading step of preparing a first kneaded product by kneading a diene rubber, carbon black, a compound represented by formula (I) (wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or an alkynyl group, and M.sup.+ is Na.sup.+, K.sup.+ or Li.sup.+), and zinc oxide; and a second kneading step of adding wax and/or stearic acid to the first kneaded product, followed by kneading. Thus, low heat generation properties are improved while suppressing the deterioration of tear resistance.

A method for increasing the impact resistance of plastic articles comprising providing a blend of cottonseed oil and plastic resin; fabricating a plastic article from the blend by rotatably screw working the blend into a molten state and molding the molten blend material into the article shape.

There is provided a foamed sheet which takes only a short time to recover the thickness thereof after being compressed, and even if being subjected to repeated impacts, hardly decreases in the impact absorption. The foamed sheet according to the present invention comprises a foamed body formed of a resin composition comprising: a thermoplastic resin a and a silicone-based compound b having not more than 2,000 siloxane bonds; and/or a thermoplastic resin a having a silicone chain having not more than 2,000 siloxane bonds. The thermoplastic resin a is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymers, rubbers, urethanic polymers and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. The silicone-based compound b is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of silicone oils, modified silicone oils and silicone resins.

A degradable nano-preservative film with photodynamic bactericidal activity and a preparation method therefor, and belongs to the technical field of antibacterial preservative films is provided. The present invention synthesizes nanoparticles with aggregation-induced emission characteristic by self-assembly of berberine that is a natural plant antibacterial component and citric acid. Under white light, the nanoparticles can generate a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby exhibiting efficient and durable antibacterial activity. Nanoparticles are prepared by adding the nanoparticles as a filler to a film-mixed solution composed of sodium alginate, pullulan and egg white. With photodynamic bactericidal activity, the present invention improves over current antibacterial preservative films having short lasting effect and which require direct contact to realize bactericidal effect.

The elastomeric article (10) comprising a substrate body (11) defining an inner surface (12) proximal to skin of a user and an outer surface (13) distal to the skin of the user, the substrate body (11) comprises an elastomer; an intermediate coating (15) overlying at least a portion of the inner surface (12), the intermediate coating (15) comprises a therapeutic agent; and an inner coating (14) overlying at least a portion of the intermediate coating (15), wherein the inner coating (14) comprises an extract of soapnuts for preserving the therapeutic agent.

The invention relates to a formaldehyde-free binder composition for mineral fibres comprising at least one phenol and/or quinone containing compound, and at least one protein.

The invention relates to a method of bonding together surfaces of two or more elements, whereby at least one of the two or more elements is a mineral wool element, said mineral wool element(s) being bound by a mineral wool binder, the method comprising the steps of providing two or more elements; applying an adhesive to one or more of the surfaces to be bonded together before, during or after contacting the surfaces to be bonded together with each other; curing the adhesive, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one protein; at least one phenol and/or quinone containing compound, and/or at least one enzyme.

The present invention provides a composition comprising: a polyester base polymer; an oxidizable polyether-based additive; a transition metal catalyst; a colorant; and a polyunsaturated fatty ester additives, wherein the polyester base polymer is substantially free of antimony and substantially free of phosphorous. Containers made from the composition are colored and exhibit excellent oxygen scavenging properties with no induction period.

The invention relates to stabilized chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) polymer formulations, and the stabilizers used therein. The stabilization is achieved through the use of a sulfide containing organotin species in conjunction with co-stabilizers and organic extenders which provide increased thermal stability relative to traditional organotin stabilizers.

The present application relates to an encapsulating film, a reliability assessment therefor, an organic electronic apparatus comprising the encapsulating film, and a method for producing an organic electronic apparatus which has used the encapsulating film, and provides: a reliability assessment method which can predict the reliability of the encapsulating film before same is applied to the organic electronic apparatus, the encapsulating film blocking moisture or oxygen from the outside entering the organic electronic apparatus; and the encapsulating film which can block moisture with high reliability.
