This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

A color conversion film material, a color conversion film, and a display device are provided. The material of the color conversion film includes a first compound and a second compound, and a mass ratio of the first compound and the second compound is (0.4-1.6):(0.3-1.7). A heat stability of the color conversion film is enhanced by using the color conversion film made of the material of the color conversion film. Moreover, a color gamut of the display device is improved, and costs thereof are reduced by applying the color conversion film to the display device.

This is a resin composition for a film containing an ionomer which comprises, in a copolymer (P) containing a structural unit (A) derived from ethylene and/or an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and a structural unit (B) derived from a monomer having a carboxyl group(s) and/or a dicarboxylic anhydride group(s) as essential constitutional units, at least a part of the carboxyl groups and/or the dicarboxylic anhydride groups in the copolymer (P) being converted into a metal-containing carboxylic acid salt(s) containing at least one kind of a metal ion(s) selected from Group 1, Group 2 or Group 12 of the periodic table, and having a phase angle δ at an absolute value G*=0.1 MPa of a complex modulus of elasticity measured by a rotary rheometer of 50 degrees to 75 degrees, and a molded body molded by using the same.

Disclosed herein is a homogeneous anion exchange membrane produced by subjecting a hydrophilic monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group to free radical polymerization with a quaternary ammonium salt having an ethylenically unsaturated group, a crosslinking agent, and a photoinitiator. A molar ratio of the hydrophilic monomer to the quaternary ammonium salt is in a range from 1:0.1 to 1:0.7. A biosensing membrane prepared from the homogeneous anion exchange membrane is also disclosed.

Embodiments herein described provide devices for identifying and collecting rare cells or cells which occur at low frequency in the body of a subject, such as, antigen-specific cells or disease-specific cells. More specifically, the devices are useful for trapping immune cells and the devices contain a physiologically-compatible porous polymer scaffold, a plurality of antigens, and an immune cell-recruiting agent, wherein the plurality of antigens and the immune cell recruiting agent attract and trap the immune cell in the device. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and packages containing such devices. Additional embodiments relate to methods for making the devices, compositions, and kits/packages. Further embodiments relate to methods for using the devices, compositions, and/or kits in the diagnosis or therapy of diseases such as autoimmune diseases or cancers.

A ceramic resin is provided, along with its methods of formation and use. The ceramic resin may include a crosslinkable precursor, a photoinitiator, ceramic particles, and pore forming particles. The ceramic resin may be utilized to form a ceramic casting element, such as via a method that includes forming a layer of the ceramic resin; applying light onto the ceramic resin such that the photoinitiator initiates polymerization of the crosslinkable precursor to form a crosslinked polymeric matrix setting the ceramic particles and the pore forming particles; and thereafter, heating the crosslinked polymeric matrix to a first temperature to burn out the pore forming particles.

A method of bonding a substrate comprising a three-dimensional printed article to another substrate, by activating the three-dimensional printed article is described, thereby facilitating bonding of the two substrates using redox curable adhesives, for example anaerobically curable adhesives.

Provided is an ultraviolet absorber capable of efficiently absorbing harmful lights in a wavelength region of 380 to 400 nm; and suppressing the absorption of lights having a wavelength of not shorter than 400 nm, which constitutes the cause of yellowing at early stages. The ultraviolet absorber can thus be used to produce a member superior in appearance as being less affected by harmful lights, and has an excellent light resistance, heat resistance and durability accordingly. The highly light-resistant ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is comprised of a 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivative that contains a thioaryl ring group or the like and is represented by, for example, the following formula (1):

PhBzT.sup.1a-S—X.sup.1a—(R.sup.1a).sub.l  (1) wherein PhBzT.sup.1a represents a substituted or unsubstituted 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeleton bonded to a thioaryl ring group (—S—X.sup.1a— . . . ), X.sup.1a represents a residue of a phenyl ring or the like, each of l R.sup.1as independently represents, for example, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, l represents an integer of 0 to 5.
