There are provided a decorative sheet which has excellent weatherability and in which white pigment particles are dispersed well, and a decorative material using the decorative sheet. The decorative sheet includes at least a substrate and a surface protective layer. The surface protective layer contains an ultraviolet absorber, and the substrate contains white pigment particles. The white pigment particles are titanium oxide particles having a coating containing Al element and Si element and formed on part or the whole of their surfaces, and contain Ti, Al and Si elements in the following mass ratio: when Ti is taken as 1, Al is not less than 0.02 and less than 0.20, and Si is more than 0.002 and not more than 0.070.

The invention describes the use of magnetic platelet particles as a multifunctional additive to various formulations of polyolefin plastic films usable to fabricate packaging and to provide said packaging with similar barrier properties as aluminium metallizations or other gas barriers, with the added benefit of allowing separation and recovery of the packaging by magnetic means. Such novel additives, films and packaging are environmentally friendly and food-safe, so that after use they can be either recovered for reuse, composted, or dumped in the environment to biodegrade. The invention comprises various types of films comprising the additive and methods to improve the properties of said films.

A liquid solar radiation shielding fine particle dispersion body, including a mixture of solar radiation shielding fine particles and at least one selected from an organic solvent and a plasticizer dispersed therein or a solar radiation shielding fine particles including a powder solar radiation shielding fine particles dispersion body, obtained by removing a liquid component from the solar radiation fine particle dispersion body upon heating, dispersed in a resin component, wherein the solar radiation shielding fine particles are solar radiation shielding fine particles containing calcium lanthanum boride fine particles.

A glazing includes at least one transparent substrate comprising a first major surface and an opposing second major surface, wherein said first major surface is coated with an electrically conductive layer and the electrically conductive layer is absent in one or more regions of the first major surface. At least a portion of the one or more regions of the first major surface, and/or corresponding regions of the opposing second major surface, bears a low-emissivity material, and the one or more regions permit the passage of electromagnetic radiation through the glazing.

A transfer sheet that can provide an anti-reflection function to a molded product without decreasing designability, a decorative molded product, and a method for manufacturing a decorative molded product are provided. A transfer sheet includes a release sheet including a base sheet and a release layer, a low refractive index layer on the release layer, a hard coat layer on the low refractive index layer, and an adhesive layer on the hard coat layer. The low refractive index layer contains an active energy ray-curable resin, hollow silica particles, and silica particles with a particle diameter 0.1 to 1.7 times a particle diameter of the hollow silica particles.
