In planar view from the base layer side view, a first and second curved sections are provided from the center portion toward the battery packaging material end parts, in a cross section in the thickness direction on a line connecting opposing corner parts protruding in a substantially rectangular shape. The thickness (a) of the metal layer at the first curved section, (c) of the metal layer at the second curved section, and (b) of the metal layer at the section located between the first and second curved sections, satisfy the following relationship a≧b>c or a≧c>b.

A battery packaging material has an excellent ink printing characteristic on a base-layer-side surface. This battery packaging material has a laminated body formed by sequentially stacking at least a base layer, a metal layer, and a sealant layer, with the wet tensile strength of the surface of the base layer being 32 mN/m or greater.

A resin composition includes a polyamide resin, and a graphene oxide.

A method of producing a laminated article comprising placing a first metal skin, a core, and a second metal skin freely onto each other as discreet layers to provide a layered component; and forming the layered component into a shaped article via a die prior to producing a laminated article by applying pressure and heat to the shaped article, wherein at least the first skin moves relative to the core and/or second skin during the forming.

A structural member of a vehicle includes a metal body, a first resin layer and a second resin layer. The metal body is made of metal. The first resin layer is provided on the metal body in a layering direction and includes a first thermoplastic resin. The second resin layer is provided on the first resin layer in the layering direction and includes a second thermoplastic resin and carbon fiber.

Provided are a block polyamide acid imide having an appropriate solubility in aqueous alkaline solutions, and block polyimides that are obtained using same and have high transparency and a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion (low CTE). The block polyimide comprises blocks configured from repeating structural units represented by defined formula (1A) and blocks configured from repeating structural units represented by defined formula (1B).

A joined body of the embodiments is a joined body which includes copper and resin, wherein in a joint surface of the copper to the resin, a triazine thiol derivative, or the triazine thiol derivative and a silane coupling agent are bonded to a base surface and the silane coupling agent is bonded to an oxide film formed on part of the joint surface, respectively, and the copper and the resin are molecularly joined to each other. This configuration makes it possible to obtain a joined body having high reliability by molecularly joining both the base surface and the oxide film of the copper, and the resin securely and achieving a strong joint of the copper and the resin at a time of joining the copper and the resin even though the oxide film is formed on part of the joint surface of the copper.

Copolymer dispersions containing polyamide segments in aqueous media form binders for coatings for various industrial and construction materials. The copolymers have a high percentage of amide linkages. The copolymers are linked into higher molecular weight species by reactions with polyisocyanates (which forms urea linkages if the other reactant is an amine or a urethane linkage if the other reactant is a hydroxyl group).
