(3) A tensile strength in a longitudinal direction and a width direction is 180 MPa to 300 MPa. (4) A haze is 7% or less.

A biaxially oriented polyester film, which exhibits an excellent winding property in a manufacturing process, and realizes an excellent electromagnetic conversion property and less failure of signals of a magnetic recording tape to be produced thereof, is provided. This biaxially oriented polyester film satisfies the formula y≤−24.9X+3.8, where the protrusion height X is 0.075 μm, 0.100 μm, and 0.125 μm, and y denotes a base-10 logarithm value of the number of protrusions having protrusion heights of X or more in a visual field of a region of 282 μm×211 μm, and a protrusion height that corresponds to a 0.4% area of a bearing curve based on protrusion height distribution is 65-90 nm.

An insulation medium invention includes a plurality of microspheres. Each microsphere comprises a porous core comprising a porous core material and having an exterior surface, a gas within the porous core, and a coating layer coating all of the exterior surface of the porous core. The coating layer comprises a coating material which transitions from a first state to a second state. In the first state, the coating material is permeable to the gas. In the second state the material is impermeable to the gas. The coating material in the second state is configured to encapsulate and maintain partial vacuum of the gas inside the porous core. In one embodiment, in the second state the coating is impermeable to air. Insulated structures, a method of making an insulation medium, a fluid storage media, and a method of delivering a fluid are also disclosed.

A breathable synthetic roofing underlayment having a hydrophobic nonwoven layer on top to deflect water, a liquid water-resistant and vapour-permeable membrane layer in the middle, and a bottom nonwoven layer which is hydrophilic and has rapid and high liquid water absorbency. This accelerates the movement of liquid water from a roofing deck into the nonwoven bottom layer and increases the rate of transfer of water through the underlayment. The bottom layer comprises a carrier resin and a hydrophilic agent, which may be a polyamide such as polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) or poly(hexamethylene adipamide), a polysorbate or other composition. The underlayment is especially useful for application to wet roofing decks.

This disclosure relates to a polyimide polymer that includes the reaction product of: (a) at least one diamine selected from the group consisting of a diamine of Structure (Ia) and a diamine of Structure (Ib),

##STR00001##

(b) at least one diamine of Structure (II),

##STR00002##

(c) at least one tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, and optionally (d) at least one compound containing a first functional group reactive with an amine or an anhydride and at least a second functional group selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group and a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group. Each variable in the above formulas is defined in the specification.
