Composite particles contained in an ink are particles of a composite of a polyester resin including a sulfonic acid group and a basic dye. The polyester resin has a glass transition point of 40° C. to 70° C. The polyester resin includes a first repeating unit derived from a polyvalent carboxylic acid having the sulfonic acid group, a second repeating unit derived from a polyvalent carboxylic acid having no sulfonic acid group, and a third repeating unit derived from a polyhydric alcohol. The content ratio of the first repeating unit relative to the total amount of the first repeating unit and the second repeating unit is at least 1.5 mol % and no greater than 20.0 mol %. The mass ratio of the polyester resin to the basic dye is at least 1.0 and no greater than 10.0.

Provided is a single-layer container containing a polyester resin (X), a polyamide resin (Y), a blue colorant (A), and a red colorant (B). The content of the polyamide resin (Y) is from 0.05 to 7.0 mass%, and the content of the blue colorant (A) is from 1 to 40 ppm.

In various embodiments, the present invention relates to a series of anti-fouling zwitterionic biodegradable thiol-yne elastomers that incorporate degradable C.sub.4-C.sub.14 dicarboxylic acid-based monomer units made using a nucleophilic thiol-yne polymerization methodology that targets high cis-content at comparable molar masses to provide excellent mechanical properties and zwitterionic side chains that provide anti fouling properties. As each C.sub.4-C.sub.14 dicarboxylic acid-based monomer unit contains at least two labile ester linkages, altering the stoichiometry of degradable C.sub.4-C.sub.14 dicarboxylic acid-based monomer unit incorporation allows the degradation rate of the material to be tuned precisely, while retaining control over the mechanical properties by maintaining the cis/trans stereochemistry of the double bonds to provide independent tuning of mechanical and degradative properties.

An object is to provide a crosslinked polyester resin that has high strength at room temperature but is capable of reprocessing, adhesion between films, and self-repair at a softening temperature thereof or higher, due to dynamic covalent crosslinks allowing bond exchange at high temperatures, that exhibits softening behavior due to bond exchange by a transesterification reaction even without containing any transesterification catalyst, and that exhibits self-adhesiveness, remoldability, and scratch repair properties. A crosslinked polyester resin in which a polyester resin having a carboxy group on a side chain is crosslinked by an epoxy-based crosslinking agent having a plurality of epoxy groups, wherein the epoxy-based crosslinking agent includes an epoxy amine compound having two or more tertiary amino groups and two or more epoxy groups in a molecule, and an amount of the epoxy amine compound is 3 to 30 parts by mole per 100 parts by mole of the carboxy group of the polyester resin.
