##STR00001##

wherein X is a chalcogen atom, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each any one of an alkyl group which optionally has a substituent, an alkenyl group which optionally has a substituent, an aryl group which optionally has a substituent, and an aralkyl group which optionally has a substituent, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each any one of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which optionally has a substituent, an alkenyl group which optionally has a substituent, an aryl group which optionally has a substituent, and an aralkyl group which optionally has a substituent, and R.sup.5 is a polymerizable group; and a transition metal salt (B).

A decorative sheet including a substrate layer, and one or more layers of at least one of a transparent resin layer and a top coat layer provided on one surface of the substrate layer, the one or more layers being provided as a front surface layer, wherein at least one layer of the transparent resin layer and the top coat layer contains a radical scavenger, and the radical scavenger is contained in a form of radical scavenger vesicles, which encapsulate the radical scavenger within an outer membrane.

A polypropylene resin composition with excellent impact resistance and rigidity and an article molded therefrom are provided. Since a polypropylene resin article prepared from the polypropylene resin composition has excellent impact resistance and rigidity, it can be advantageously used as an automobile interior or exterior part, a toy for children, or a food storage container.

The present invention provides a composite material comprising of a polyamide material including PA66, and/or a fluoropolymer material including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), glass fibers, additives and pigments and method of its preparation by compounding extrusion or injection moulding processes. The composite material sustains the high heat generated due to spark in the electrical circuit, has lowest coefficient of friction (COF) so that the socket shutter provides smooth operation of inserting and removing the plug, has very low cycle time in injection moulding process ensuring high productivity and provides custom made colours required for aesthetic purpose.

Described herein are oxygen scavengers, oxygen scavenging polymeric compositions, and oxygen scavenging articles. The polymeric compositions comprising the oxygen scavengers may have utility in packaging, sealing, wrapping, and storing oxygen-sensitive substances, e.g., to preserve freshness of foods, beverages, and the like.

A formed body made from a resin and having a wall portion, the wall portion containing, as an oxygen-absorbing component, a non-polymeric oxygen-absorbing organic component in an amount of 0.5 to 2.5% by mass, and having a ratio of oxygen permeation rates expressed by the following formula that is suppressed to be not more than 42%:

Ratio of oxygen permeation rates=(P/P.sub.0)100

wherein P is an oxygen permeation rate (cc) through the wall portion, and P.sub.0 is an oxygen permeation rate (cc) through the wall portion of the same thickness but without containing the oxygen-absorbing component.

A silicone-based composition according to one embodiment of the present application comprises a polyorganosiloxane having both ends formed with an acrylate group and comprising at least one alkoxy group; at least one type of an acryl-based monomer; at least one type of a photoinitiator; and a catalyst for moisture curing.

Tyre (1) comprising sidewalls (2), a crown region (3) provided with a tread (4), a reinforcing structure (5) extending between the sidewalls (2) and passing via the crown region (3), at least one portion of the region of the tyre that is axially inside the reinforcing structure (5) comprising an insert (6) comprising a first elastomer composition serving as a matrix, within which a second elastomer composition originating from recycled tyres is distributed substantially uniformly, the proportion of said second elastomer composition being greater than or equal to 40%.

An oxygen-absorbing resin composition containing an ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin and an organic oxygen absorber and, further, containing cobalt in an amount of 5 to 50 ppm and titanium in an amount of 1 to 15 ppm calculated as elements.

Provided are a resin composition having excellent oxygen barrier property under high humidity as a novel resin material, a molded body, a method for producing a molded body, and a method for producing a pellet using the resin composition. The resin composition includes a resin component and a plate-shaped talc having an aspect ratio of more than 18, 80 mass % of the resin component comprising a barrier resin having an oxygen transmission coefficient of 5.0 cc.Math.mm/(m.sup.2.Math.day.Math.atm) or less as measured according to ASTM D3985 at a relative humidity of 60% and a temperature of 23? C., and a content of the plate-shaped talc being from 3.0 to 55.0 mass % when a total of the barrier resin and the plate-shaped talc is 100 mass %.
