The present invention provides an epoxy resin adhesive that exhibits low shrinkage and excellent adhesiveness. The epoxy resin adhesive includes (A) an epoxy resin, (B) a curing agent, and (C) a particulate polyolefin-based resin having a volume average particle size of 1 to 25 &#x3bc;m, wherein the particulate polyolefin-based resin is spherical, and wherein the particulate polyolefin-based resin is present in an amount of 1 to 50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the epoxy resin.

Epoxy resin adhesive agent

The present invention provides an aliphatic polycarbonate production method which, using carbon dioxide and an epoxide, easily produces aliphatic polycarbonates having a low metal catalyst content. The invention relates to an aliphatic polycarbonate production method which includes a step of polymerization by reacting carbon dioxide with an epoxide in the presence of a metal catalyst; and a step of treating a polymer obtainable in the polymerization step with a surfactant. High-purity aliphatic polycarbonate having a low metal catalyst content can be easily provided by the aliphatic polycarbonate production method of the invention.

Method for producing aliphatic polycarbonate

Improvements of a process for producing a non-directional electrical steel sheet free from ridging, which comprises making a molten steel into slabs by continuous casting, hot rolling the slab, cold rolling the hot rolled product into a final thickness by a single step, and subjecting the cold rolled product to decarburization annealing, said molten steel consisting essentially of not more than 0.02% C, 1.5 to 4.0% Si, not more than 1.0% Al, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, said hot rolling being done at a temperature in a range of from 900.degree. to 1100.degree. C. before a finishing rolling of the hot rolling, said improvements comprising stirring electromagnetically unsolidified molten steel in a zone where the molten steel is at a temperature not higher than the liquidus line and remains in thickness not less than 50% to whole cast thickness, so as to allow not less than 50% of the slab central zone corresponding to a central zone of the hot rolled product which does not recrystallize during the hot rolling to transit into an equi-axed structure.

A method for preventing edge cracks in a grain oriented silicon steel sheet produced from a continuously cast slab containing 2.5 to 4.0% silicon. This method is carried out with a controlled reduction rate in a rough rolling mill and/or with an adjusted reduction by a pair of edge rolls of an edger.

A method for treating a steel slab containing 2.5 to 4% Si to a temperature not lower than 1260.degree. C. in a continuous heating furnace of the walking-beam type, comprising; charging the slabs into the continuous heating furnace through its charge inlet, transferring the slabs by means of walking-beams in the furnace with the rear end of a preceding slab substantially contacting a front end of a subsequent slab under the condition that the contact time of the slab with fixed beams is not more than three times longer than the contact time of the slab with the transfer beams, and separating the adjacent slabs with a space sufficient to permit remelting of solidified slag adhered between the adjacent slabs approaching the extraction outlet of the furnace.
