Anti-gram-negative bacterial compound

The present invention aims to provide an antimicrobial and antiviral agent which comprises a naturally occurring component as an active ingredient and is effective against microbes including various classes of fungi and viruses. In one aspect of the present invention, provided is an antimicrobial and antiviral agent comprisingderived fromvar.

Antimicrobial and antiviral agent, antimicrobial and antiviral member, and method for producing antimicrobial and antiviral agent

A piezoelectric actuator that includes (a) a piezoelectric body made of piezoelectric ceramic, the piezoelectric body having two principal surfaces facing each other and having four side surfaces, (b) external electrodes on the principal surfaces, (c) recessed portions in the four side surfaces, and (d) a coating layer made of resin and provided on the four side surfaces. The coating layer covers the recessed portions in the four side surfaces.

There is provided a laminated piezoelectric ceramic element manufacturing method, wherein, even when the number of internal electrode laminations is increased, the lamination and cutting steps can be simplified, to enhance cutting precision and make cutting cost low. A first laminated body having stripe-like internal electrodes is cut into a plurality of second laminated bodies so as to have a width-direction dimension W corresponding to a width dimension of a laminated piezoelectric ceramic element chip to be ultimately obtained. Two or more second laminated bodies are laminated in the laminating direction to obtain a third laminated body, and the third laminated body is cut in the laminating direction and parallel to the width direction W to obtain a laminated piezoelectric body.

Laminated piezoelectric ceramic element manufacturing method

A ceramic slurry composition is obtained by mixing a ceramic raw material powder, a water-soluble acrylic binder and water, wherein the water-soluble acrylic binder has a weight average molecular weight of from about 10,000 to 500,000, and has an inertial square radius of not more than about 100 nm in water. The ceramic slurry composition can have a low viscosity as well as good dispersion characteristics for the ceramic raw material powder, good flow characteristics and good form characteristics, and can provide ceramic green sheets having a high density and excellent drying characteristics, by decreasing the solution viscosity, without decreasing the molecular weight of the water-soluble acrylic binder containing a hydrophobic component.
