A shoe cover is a natural latex article with reduced amount of sulfur cross linking agent and accelerators including zinc dithiocarbamate that break catalytically soluble sulfur S.sub.8 sulfur rings forming sulfur linear chains. Surfactants present in the pre-vulcanization composition wets natural polyisoprene particles and permeates small sized sulfur into the interior of these particles thereby pre-vulcanizing the particles. The latex emulsion also has post-vulcanization composition with accelerators that crosslink between particles during the post vulcanization cure cycle. The dipped natural polyisoprene article is substantially uniformly cured both in the inter-particle and intra-particle regions and reliably exhibits high cross link density, uniform distribution of double bonds and zinc segregation at the boundaries or original particles. The natural rubber films exhibit high tensile strength, tensile modulus, tear strength, elongation with low modulus of the shoe cover. The bottom surface of the shoe cover is etched to produce a slip resistant surface.

Provided is a thermosetting resin composition that contains a high dielectric constant material and that can suppress, in producing a cured product thereof, generation of outgas, decrease in heat resistance, and decrease in peel strength. Also provided are a prepreg, a resin film, a laminate, a printed wiring board, an antenna device, an antenna module, and a communication device obtained by using the thermosetting resin composition. The thermosetting resin composition is, specifically, a thermosetting resin composition containing (A) a thermosetting resin and (B) at least one high dielectric constant inorganic filler selected from the group consisting of a titanium-based inorganic filler and a zircon-based inorganic filler, the thermosetting resin composition further containing (C) a resin having 3% by mass or more of an acidic group in an amount of 1 part by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the component (B).

According to the present invention, an intermediate film for a backsheet for photovoltaic modules is provided, the intermediate film comprising a substrate film, for example, a PET film, and a partially cross-linked layer of coating resin. The corresponding method for producing such an intermediate film is also presented, which involves providing a substrate film, depositing and spreading a layer of coating resin on the substrate film, and partially cross-linking the layer of coating resin. According to this method, the cross-linking of the resin is stopped before it is completed so that the intermediate film is obtained, and it is finished during the subsequent process of laminating the intermediate film to the encapsulant of a photovoltaic module.
