The aim of the invention is to create a composition for coating electric conductors which is significantly more resistant to partial discharges than prior art compositions while the produced insulating layer is highly extensible. Said aim is achieved by a composition comprising 1 to 50 percent by weight of microparticles that have a specifically adjusted electronic defect structure in the crystal lattice, resulting in greater polarizability of the valence electrons, and an organic and/or organic-inorganic matrix. The microparticles that have a specifically adjusted electronic defect structure are composed of oxides, sulfides, selenides, tellurides of the elements which are part of the series encompassing silicon, zinc, aluminum, tin, boron, germanium, gallium, lead, the transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides, particularly from the series encompassing silicon, titanium, zinc, yttrium, cerium, vanadium, hafnium, zirconium, nickel, and/or tantalum, in such a way that the basic lattice is provided with vacant lattice positions by doping 4 the basic lattice with adequate low-valent or higher-valent elements, said vacant lattice positions increasing the electronic polarizability of the microparticles by means of defect chemistry (the defect structure).

A conductive paste includes electrically conductive particles, a binder, an organic solvent, a glass powder, and a specific amount of inorganic oxide particles that are at least partially surface-coated with an organophosphorus compound and have a specific average particle size. Solar cell electrodes formed by firing the conductive paste have increased bond strength with a substrate.

This invention relates to novel applications for alliform carbon, useful in conductors and energy storage devices, including electrical double layer capacitor devices and articles incorporating such conductors and devices. Said alliform carbon particles are in the range of 2 to about 20 percent by weight, relative to the weight of the entire electrode. Said novel applications include supercapacitors and associated electrode devices, batteries, bandages and wound healing, and thin-film devices, including display devices.

The present invention relates to a transfer polyester film. More particularly, the present invention relates to a transfer polyester film and a method for manufacturing the same, wherein the transfer polyester film has a coating layer with an excellent releasing property so that at the time of forming a hard coating layer in order to impart a surface gloss to an interior product, the transfer polyester film may be attached to a surface of the hard coating layer so as to allow the surface of the hard coating layer to be smoothly formed in a step of coating and curing a hard coating solution and may be removed after completely curing the hard coating layer.

A decorative sheet includes a primary film layer; and a surface protection layer on one surface of the primary film layer. The surface protection layer has an irregular structure having a plurality of ridged portions protruding in a ridged shape and has a ratio of a section height difference Rdc to the thickness t of the surface protection layer, the ratio Rdc/t being 0.1 or greater and 0.2 or less, the thickness t of the surface protection layer is 2 m or more and 18 m or less, contains a cured article of a resin and particles, with the particles having an average particle size of 3 m or more and contained in the surface protection layer in an amount of 3 parts by mass or more and 11 parts by mass or less to the resin, and the surface protection layer has a gloss level less than 10.

Described herein are methods for creating spill-proof or spill-resistant surfaces through the use of hydrophobic or oleophobic (H-SH) edges, borders and/or boundaries that contain the water and other liquids within the inside edges, borders and/or boundaries. Also described herein are spill-proof/spill-resistant surfaces. Liquid (e.g., water and other aqueous solutions/suspensions) heights of 3-6 mm on a level planar surface can be sustained by such edges, borders and/or boundaries. The H-SH borders can be created on glass, metal, wood, plastic, and concrete surfaces.

A chain is provided in which an alloy coating layer suppressing iron reactions is formed on the surface and hence a paint film formed on the alloy coating layer has satisfactory adhesiveness, high strength, and high uniformity so that repair after assembling is not required and the chemical resistance is maintained satisfactorily.

A chain includes inner plates, bushes, outer plates, connecting pins, and rollers. Each constituent component includes: a zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coating layer formed on an iron-based basis material by impact plating; and a paint film formed on the zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy coating layer, containing zinc and barium sulfate, and constructed such that at least one kind of resin selected from a group consisting of urethane resin, epoxy resin, and acrylic resin is hardened.
