The present invention relates to a composition and to a method of manufacturing a composition.

The problem addressed by this invention is to provide a laminate for molding having excellent moldability and post-curing properties of the hard-coat layer, and which can maintain the surface of the hard-coat layer in a satisfactory state while uncured. This problem is solved by a laminate for molding containing a hard-coat layer and a masking film affixed to the surface of the hard-coat layer, having an adhesive surface, which is the hard-coat layer-side surface of the masking film, with a surface free energy of at least 30.0 (mN/m) measured in accordance with the OWRK method, before being affixed. The hard-coat layer is in an uncured state.

Disclosed are an anti-glare coating resin composition and an anti-glare coating film including the same. Specifically, provided are an anti-glare coating resin composition that includes a siloxane resin containing an epoxy group and an acrylic group, and further includes organic or inorganic particles, and thus ensures hardness, scratch resistance and processability, and provides anti-glare property by introduction of particles, and an anti-glare coating film produced using the same. Also, it is possible to realize hardness, abrasion resistance and anti-glare property of a film resin prepared using the resin composition and a film produced using the same.

The present invention provides an organic-inorganic composite particle that is excellent in the reflectivity of visible light and near infrared light, and has high light diffusing property and opacifying property, a method for producing the same, and use thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to an organic-inorganic composite particle comprising an outer shell composed of a crosslinked polymer, and a cavity that is partitioned with the outer shell, wherein the composite particle contains, inside the cavity, a porous structure in which silica particles as a first inorganic particle are interconnected, and a second inorganic particle other than a silica particle, and has a volume average particle diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm, a method for producing the same, and use thereof.

This disclosure relates to a glucose-sensing electrode including a nanoporous metal layer and a maltose-blocking layer formed over the nanoporous metal layer. The nanoporous metal layer is capable of oxidizing both glucose and maltose without an enzyme specific to glucose or maltose in the glucose-sensing electrode. The maltose-blocking layer has porosity that permits glucose to pass therethrough and inhibits maltose from passing therethrough toward the nanoporous metal layer.
