The present invention relates to an artificial leather and a method for producing the same. The artificial leather includes a substrate, a thermoplastic polyurethane fiber adhesive layer, a thermoplastic polyurethane fiber layer, a paste layer, and a surface layer. The paste layer has a thermosetting paste or a high solid-content paste, and the paste has a specific adhesive temperature. A bonding can be performed at low temperature in the method for producing the same, and the artificial leather made by the method for producing the same has excellent hand feeling and/or smoothness.

A synthetic leather comprising a substrate, a skin layer that is disposed on one main surface of the substrate, and an anti-stain layer that is disposed to cover the skin layer. The anti-stain layer contains a base resin that comprises silicon and a unit derived from a compound that has a urethane bond. In the anti-stain layer, a fluorine atom/silicon atom atomic ratio, which is a proportion of a fluorine atom to the silicon atom, is 0.01 or less. A first color difference ΔE1* between before and after a stain adhesion test performed on the synthetic leather rubbed under a specific condition is 5 or less.

A composite structure, a resin film, and a method of manufacturing the resin film are provided. The composite structure includes a release carrier and a resin film. The release carrier includes a release substrate and a release resin layer that is formed on the release substrate. The release resin layer covers the release substrate at a coverage rate of between 60% and 100%. The resin film is formed on the release carrier. The resin film is bonded to each of the release substrate and the release resin layer.

A light-emitting display device includes: a light-emitting member; and a light-blocking layer-equipped fiber sheet that covers a light-emitting surface of the light-emitting member. The light-blocking layer-equipped fiber sheet includes a fiber sheet, and a light-blocking layer that is partially printed on at least one surface of the fiber sheet. The surface of the fiber sheet on which the light-blocking layer is formed has an arithmetic mean height Sa of 3 to 20 μm, as measured based on ISO 25178, and the fiber sheet has an apparent density of 0.5 g/cm.sup.3 or more.

Waterproof composite fabrics comprising a textile layer and a continuous polymer layer that comprises adjoining first and second regions with different physical or visual properties, and knife-over-roll coating methods for 5 manufacturing said composite fabrics. The waterproof composite fabrics described are particularly suitable for covering medical support surfaces, for instance mattresses.

A leather-like sheet includes: a fiber base material; an intermediate resin layer stacked on one surface of the fiber base material; and a surface resin layer stacked on the intermediate resin layer. The surface resin layer contains a polyether-based polyurethane and spherical fine particles having a heat resistance at 200° C., and has a content ratio of the spherical fine particles of 5 to 40 mass %. The spherical fine particles have a specific heat of 0.95 kJ/(kg.Math.K) or more, a particle size D.sub.50 (median diameter) at a cumulative distribution of 50 vol %, of 2.5 to 10 μm, and a particle size D.sub.10 at a cumulative distribution of 10 vol % of the spherical fine particles which satisfies a condition that a particle size dispersity D.sub.50/D.sub.10≤3.

A composite material contains a nonwoven layer (i) which contains fibers formed from a first thermoplastic elastomer having meshes with a mesh size in the range from 10 to 100 μm, and a membrane layer (ii) which contains a second thermoplastic elastomer and having a layer thickness of less than 30 μm. The membrane is either pore-free (ii.1) or is porous and has pores with an average pore diameter of less than 2000 nm (ii.2). The membrane (ii) is at least partially in direct contact with the fibers of the nonwoven layer (i) and covers the mesh openings in the nonwoven layer (i) at least partially. The fibers of the first nonwoven layer (i) and the membrane (ii) in the contact area are at least partly joined to one another in an interlocking manner.

A method for producing a support for polyurethane-based imitation leather free of dimethylformamide or other solvents or water involves preparing a base. A two-component polyurethane layer is sprayed on the base which includes preparing a first component and a second component. The first and second components are combined to obtain a mixture, and the mixture is sprayed uniformly on the base forming the polyurethane layer. A backing is applied on the two-component polyurethane layer forming a support and the support is dried.

The present invention relates to a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, a viscosity at 100° C. of 30 to 600 dPa.Math.s, and a thermal softening temperature after moisture curing of 75 to 155° C.
