The present invention relates to a fatty acid amide-based oleogel containing polymer and a method for preparing same and, more particularly, to a fatty acid amide-based oleogel containing polymer and a method for preparing same, the oleogel comprising: a substrate formed of a polymer of a fatty acid amide having a single double bond and a silicone polymer, or a composition comprising same; and an oleogel surface formed by impregnating the substrate with oil, wherein, in the silicone polymer, first silyl-terminated polydialkylsiloxane is crosslinked with second vinyl-terminated polydialkylsiloxane, and the fatty acid amide is linked to the first silyl-terminated polydialkylsiloxane. Also, the present invention can provide use of the fatty acid amide-based oleogel containing polymer according to the present invention.

A polysiloxane-substituted quinacridone pigment is produced by a quinacridone pigment with an epoxy-terminated polysiloxane under conditions effective to cause the epoxy group on the polysiloxane to react with, and bond the polysiloxane to, the quinacridone pigment. The quinacridone pigment thus produced has the polysiloxane grouping bonded to one of the quinacridone nitrogen atoms via a hydrocarbon linking group, which bears a hydroxyl group on a carbon atom α or β to the quinacridone nitrogen atom. These quinacridone pigments are useful in electrophoretic displays.

The present invention provides a bio-electrode composition including a silicone bonded to a sulfonamide salt, wherein the sulfonamide salt is shown by the following general formula (1): ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms optionally having an aromatic group, an ether group, or an ester group, or an arylene group having 6 to 10 carbon atoms; Rf represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and containing at least one fluorine atom; M.sup.+ is an ion selected from a lithium ion, a sodium ion, a potassium ion, and a silver ion. This can form a living body contact layer for a bio-electrode that is excellent in electric conductivity and biocompatibility, light-weight, manufacturable at low cost, and free from large lowering of the electric conductivity even though it is wetted with water or dried.
