The present invention relates to a composition for forming a conductive pattern and a resin structure having a conductive pattern, wherein the composition makes it possible to form a fine conductive pattern on various polymer resin products or resin layers through a simple process, and can more effectively meet needs of the art, such as displaying various colors. The composition for forming a conductive pattern, comprises: a polymer resin; and a non-conductive metal compound having a predetermined chemical structure, and may be a composition for forming a conductive pattern through electromagnetic irradiation, by which a metal nucleus is formed from the non-conductive metal compound.

Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition which has excellent heat resistance, mechanical characteristics, and adhesion properties with respect to a reinforcing fiber base material, which is a different kind of material, and from which a molded article particularly having excellent rigidity at a high temperature is obtained. A thermoplastic resin composition is provided, which includes: a phenoxy resin (A) having a hydroxy group and/or an epoxy group at a polymer chain terminal; and a polyamide resin (B), wherein a proportion of the phenoxy resin (A) is 50 to 90 mass % and a proportion of the polyamide resin (B) is 10 to 50 mass % relative to a total amount of 100 mass % of the phenoxy resin (A) and the polyamide resin (B), and a tensile modulus retention rate [Equation (i) below] of a dumbbell test piece (JIS K 7139, Type A1), and a molded article manufactured therefrom is also provided.

The invention relates to strong hydrogen-bond acidic sorbents. The sorbents may be provided in a form that limits or eliminates intramolecular bonding of the hydrogen-bond acidic site between neighboring sorbent molecules, for example, by providing steric groups adjacent to the hydrogen-bond acidic site. The hydrogen bond site may be a phenolic structure based on a bisphenol architecture. The sorbents of the invention may be used in methods for trapping or detecting hazardous chemicals or explosives.
