The present invention aims to provide a resin foam, a resin foam sheet, an adhesive tape, a member for a vehicle, and a member for a building that are capable of exhibiting very high sound insulation properties. Provided is a resin foam having a multitude of cells, the resin foam containing: a thermoplastic resin; and a plasticizer, the resin foam having a minimum loss factor of a primary anti-resonance frequency in the range of 20° C. to 60° C. of 0.05 or higher and a secondary anti-resonance frequency in the range of 20° C. to 60° C. of 300 to 800 Hz as measured by mechanical impedance measurement (MIM) in conformity with JIS G0602.

The present invention provides a rubber composition obtained by kneading a rubber component, a vulcanization accelerator, silica, and a compound represented by the following formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein the groups are as defined in the DESCRIPTION.

A black photosensitive resin composition comprising (A) an acid crosslinkable group-containing silicone resin, (B) carbon black, and (C) a photoacid generator is coated onto a substrate to form a photosensitive resin coating which has improved reliability with respect to adhesion and crack resistance, resolution and flexibility while maintaining satisfactory light shielding properties.

A polymer composition of cross-linked fluoropolymers is provided, that is generated using a fluoropolymer compatibilizer. The cross-linked fluoropolymers have excellent mechanical and dielectric characteristics at high temperatures, making them useful for such applications as insulation for automotive communications cables and PCB laminates.

A method of growing plants in a coherent growth substrate product is provided and includes: providing at least one coherent growth substrate product comprising man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) bonded with a cured aqueous binder composition; positioning one or more seeds, seedlings, cuttings or plants in contact with the growth substrate product; and irrigating the growth substrate product. The aqueous binder composition prior to curing includes a component (i) in the form of one or more oxidized lignins, a component (ii) in the form of one or more cross-linkers, and a component (iii) in the form of one or more plasticizers.

A resin useful for producing objects is provided, which resin contains a photoinitiator of low cytotoxicity. The resins may be suitable for use in additive manufacturing techniques such as bottom-up and top-down stereolithography, produce objects that are bioresorbable and non-cytotoxic, and/or produce objects that are flexible or elastic. Methods of use of the resin and objects produced therefrom are also provided.

Disclosed herein are thermal interface material comprising liquid epoxy resin that is free of aromatic groups and high loading of aluminum trihydroxide and the use thereof in battery powered vehicles.
