In a resin-film manufacturing apparatus of an embodiment, when a lip gap control is started, a difference between a state of a target heat bolt (THB) at a start of current control and a state of each of all the heat bolts at a start of last control is obtained, when the difference between the states of THB at the starts of the current and last control is a smallest one, a learning result of THB is set as an initial value of a control condition for THB, and when the difference between the states of THB is not the smallest one, either one of a learning result of the heat bolt of which the difference between the states is smaller than the difference between the states of THB and the learning result of THB is set as the initial value of the control condition for THB.

A water-soluble film is provided that is capable of achieving deformation resistance during pouch storage as well as excellent water solubility of the film and excellent reduction in undissolved residues. A water-soluble film includes a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, wherein a crystal long period Ds obtained from an X-ray profile obtained by small-angle X-ray scattering measurement in a water/methanol mixed solvent (volume ratio: 2/8) is from 10.0 to 30.0 nm and a rate of increase (DS−Da)/Da of the crystal long period Ds to a crystal long period Da obtained by small-angle X-ray scattering measurement before immersion in the solvent is 30% or more and 130% or less.

A treated liquid crystal polymer resin sheet includes a main surface, a non-fiberized portion in which fibrous crystalline portions and a non-crystalline portion filling a gap between the crystalline portions are provided, and a fiberized portion in which the fibrous crystalline portions is exposed at the main surface with a gap between the crystalline portions that is unfilled.

Isoporous block copolymers of cross-linked structures, and methods of preparing, which are resistant to harsh solvent conditions from organic, acidic or basic materials are disclosed.

A metal-resin composite that has a structure in which a plurality of metal particles are fixed to resin particles and, in the range of pH 3 to pH 10, the maximum value of the zeta potential is at least 5 mV and the minimum value is 5 mV or less.
