Provided are binder particles for an all-solid-state battery with which an all-solid-state battery having excellent battery characteristics can be obtained even in a situation in which the all-solid-state battery is produced by a dry method. The binder particles for an all-solid-state battery are formed of a polymer and have a cohesion of not less than 1% and less than 30% and a volume-average particle diameter D50 of not less than 10 μm and not more than 100 μm. Moreover, a composition for an all-solid-state battery contains these binder particles for an all-solid-state battery and solid electrolyte particles. Furthermore, a functional layer for an all-solid-state battery is formed from this composition for an all-solid-state battery. Also, an all-solid-state battery includes this functional layer for an all-solid-state battery.

Latexes are provided which may comprise water and resin particles comprising a polymerization product of reactants comprising a dioxane/dioxolane monomer and an additional monomer, wherein the dioxane/dioxolane monomer is an ester of (meth)acrylic acid with an alcohol comprising a dioxane moiety, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid with an alcohol comprising a dioxolane moiety, or both.

Disclosed is an aqueous adhesive comprising a copolymer obtainable by polymerizing a plurality of monomers, wherein the plurality of monomers comprise a (meth)acrylic acid ester, and the aqueous adhesive is applied to a paper tube. Also disclosed is a paper tube coated with the aqueous adhesive which is used for paper straws.

Provided is a composition for a non-aqueous secondary battery functional layer with which it is possible to form a functional layer that can cause a battery component including the functional layer to display a balance of both high blocking resistance and high process adhesiveness. The composition for a non-aqueous secondary battery functional layer contains a particulate polymer having a core-shell structure including a core portion and a shell portion at least partially covering an outer surface of the core portion. The core portion is formed by a polymer A and the shell portion is formed by a polymer B including not less than 1 mass % and not more than 20 mass % of a cyano group-containing monomer unit.

An elastomeric mastic sealant composition and method of manufacturing are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the composition may include between about 13 and about 19 weight percent or between about 11 and about 15 volume percent of acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymer. The composition may further comprise one or more of between about 36 and about 41 weight percent or between about 29 and about 34 volume percent of styrenated acrylic polymer; between about 1 and about 2 weight percent or between about 0.9 and about 1.7 volume percent of surfactant; between about 0.6 and about 1.4 weight percent or between about 0.4 and about 1 volume percent of dispersant; and between about 0.4 and about 1 weight percent or between about 29 and about 40 volume percent of pre-expanded compressible microspheres having an organic outer surface and introduced by a closed mixing system into the copolymer. In some implementations, the disclosed composition and method forms a closed-cell, semi-foam, mastic sealant using gas-filled, flexible, organic microspheres to create a product that once cured, is elastic and compressible under pressure without unduly protruding in an outward direction when compressed, thereby allowing the applied sealant to compress in an enclosed, maximum-filled channel unlike typical mastic sealants (while retaining the ability to rebound). This allows the sealant in such implementations to function as a gasket, and to have properties including vibration damping, insulating, and/or condensation resistance.
