One aspect of the present invention relates to a coated resin particle including: a water-absorbent resin particle; and a coating layer that coats at least a part of a surface of the water-absorbent resin particle, in which the coating layer contains a water-soluble component in which a solubility in 100 g of water is in a range of 1.0 g or more and 150 g or less at 25° C.

A method for in-situ generation of nanoflower-like manganese dioxide catalyst on filter material is provided. The method comprises: immersing a filter material in a solution containing sodium lauryl sulfate and nitric acid; first modifying the surface of the filter material by using the sodium lauryl sulfate so that a charge layer is wound around the surface of the filter material and tightly absorbs H.sup.+ in an acid solution; and then adding potassium permanganate as an oxidant to react with H.sup.30 on the surface of the filter material to generate nano flower-like manganese dioxide in situ on the surface of the filter material, so as to obtain a composite filter material having a denitration function.

Compositions and methods are described for self-assembled polymer materials having at least one of macro, meso, or micro pores.

Provided is an adsorption temporary fixing sheet having a sufficient shear adhesive strength in a direction parallel to its surface, and having a weak adhesive strength in a direction vertical to the surface. Also provided is a method of producing such adsorption temporary fixing sheet. The adsorption temporary fixing sheet includes a foam layer including an open-cell structure, wherein, when a silicon chip vertical adhesive strength of a surface of the foam layer after 20 hours at each of such different temperatures as −40° C., 23° C., or 125° C. is represented by V1 (N/1 cm□), V2 (N/1 cm□), or V3 (N/1 cm□) and when a silicon chip shearing adhesive strength of the surface of the foam layer after 20 hours at each of the different temperatures (−40° C., 23° C., or 125° C.) is represented by H1 (N/1 cm□), H2 (N/1 cm□), or H3 (N/1 cm□), relationships of V1<H1, V2<H2, and V3<H3 are satisfied.

The present invention relates to the isolation and amplification of odors so that the underlying odorous material might be located. The present invention utilizes a triple layer odor absorbent sampling media, solvents, and a heat source to isolate and amplify the odors. Once the source of the odor is located, the odorous material can then be cleaned.

Provided are methods for analyzing and purifying degarelix or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof containing at least one related impurity. Also provided are methods for analyzing and purifying degarelix or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof containing compound A and/or compound D as an impurity. Further provided are degarelix or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof prepared from and/or selected using the disclosed methods.
