The invention relates to a suspension of cerium oxide particles, of which the particles (secondary particles) have an average size of at most 200 nm, these secondary particles consisting of primary particles whose average size measured by TEM is of at most 150 nm with a standard deviation of at most 30% of the value of said average size, and for which the ratio of the average size measured by TEM to the average size measured by BET is at least 1.5. This suspension is prepared from a solution of a cerium III salt, comprising a colloidal dispersion of cerium IV, which is brought into contact, in the presence of nitrate ions and under an inert atmosphere, with a base; the medium obtained is subjected to a thermal treatment under an inert atmosphere and then acidified and washed. The suspension can be used for polishing.

The aqueous protective coating composition is provided for easy application to refractory linings and walls. When dried, the protective coating composition provides excellent chemical resistance to molten aluminum alkali metals and vapors. The protective coating composition includes alumina and silica, suitably provided as mullite, calcined alumina, and colloidal silica; and a metallic non-wetting agent.

A preparation provides light or radiation attenuation between about 190 and 800 nm has an amount of diamond nanoparticles in a medium, where the diamond nanoparticles have a size between about 1 nm and 1000 nm are modified to enhance absorption or photoluminescence. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.

A coating agent for oil seal comprising 10 to 160 parts by weight of a filler having a particle size of 0.5 to 30 m based on 100 parts by weight of isocyanate group-containing 1,2-polybutadiene and being prepared as an organic solvent solution, wherein a contact angle between a substrate surface coated with the coating agent and engine oil is less than 35. The coating agent can improve wettability with oil and reduce dynamic friction coefficient in oil, while increasing the roughness of the coating surface. Thus, low torque characteristics can be achieved, while maintaining excellent seal performance inherent in oil seal.

A low-reflection coated glass sheet of the present invention includes a glass sheet and a low-reflection coating. The low-reflection coating is formed on at least a portion of one principal surface of the glass sheet, and contains a binder containing silica as a main component, fine silica particles bound by the binder, and fine titania particles bound by the binder. For the low-reflection coated glass sheet, a transmittance gain is 1.7% or more. The low-reflection coating contains 25 mass % to 43 mass % of the silica which is the main component of the binder, 40 mass % to 64 mass % of the fine silica particles, and 10 mass % to 20 mass % of the fine titania particles, based on the total mass of the low-reflection coating. As such, the low-reflection coated glass sheet of the present invention has high abrasion resistance and is capable of exhibiting photocatalytic properties and hydrophilicity when irradiated with light.
