An object of the present invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition that enables a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to be formed, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer allowing the appearance of a display device and an input device to be unlikely to deteriorate even under low pressure conditions, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, an optical member, and a touch panel. The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition of the present invention contains an acrylic polymer (A) and a hydrogenated polyolefinic resin (B). The acrylic polymer (A) contains a (meth)acrylic alkyl ester having an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms as a constituent monomer component. The hydrogenated polyolefinic resin (B) contains a hydrogenated polyolefin.

A novel material is provided herein which is suitable for use in a precursor of a polymer coating material that coats a polymer on a surface of a base material to provide the base material with surface modification and/or functionality assignment. A composite material characterized in that a compound having a polymerization initiation site containing a halogen group is incorporated in a crosslinked structure comprising a catechol derivative or a phenol derivative represented by the following formula (I). In the formula (I), R may be interrupted by an oxygen molecule and represents a hydrocarbon group with 2 to 20 carbons that has at least one double bond site, and A represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or an alkoxy group with 1 to 20 carbons. ##STR00001##

This invention relates to polymer polyols comprising the free-radical polymerization product of a base polyol, at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and, optionally, a preformed stabilizer, in the presence of at least one free-radical polymerization initiator and at least one chain transfer agent, in which the base polyol is a natural oil. A process for preparing these polymer polyols is also described. The present invention also relates to a polyurethane foam prepared from these polymer polyols and to a process for the preparation of these polyurethane foams.
