A method of producing metal particles, including the steps of forming a membrane of a polymer or oligomer which has, at the terminals of its molecule and/or in the side chains thereof, at least one functional group selected from cyano, amino and thiol groups, and depositing a metal on the membrane through vapor deposition so that the membrane has particles of the metal and/or its oxide dispersed therein.

Method for producing metal particulate dispersion and metal

There is provided a substrate of which the surface is coated with a titanium dioxide film having a photocatalytic activity, which substrate is obtained by:

Titanium dioxide film having photocatalytic activity and substrate

A particle dispersed glassy material includes ultrafine metal particles that are present in a high concentration. The particles are surrounded by a fixation component and, optionally, can be surrounded by a skeleton forming component. The glassy material is produced by firing a substrate having a film thereon that includes a polymer composite having the ultrafine particles uniformly dispersed therein, a fixation reagent and, optionally, a skeleton forming reagent under relatively mild conditions that do not damage the substrate. A method of making the glassy material includes the steps of making a film-forming composition that includes the polymer composite, the fixation reagent and, optionally, the skeleton forming reagent, applying the composition to a substrate, drying the applied composition to produce a film and firing the film to produce the glassy material.

Ultrafine particle dispersed glassy material and method

A polymer composite includes a thermoplastic plastic polymer having a fine grain metal or metal oxide dispersed therein. Preferably, the fine grains has a size of about 1,000 nm or less. A method of making the polymer composite by adhering a metal layer to a thermoplastic polymer layer in a thermodynamically nonequilibrated condition followed by relaxation of the polymer layer to obtain thermodynamic equilibrium which causes the metal layer to be absorbed by the polymer layer as fine grains is also disclosed.

Polymer composite with dispersed fine grains and a method for

A polymer composite contains colorant molecules dispersed therein. The colorant molecules can be dispersed in the polymer or bound to the polymer molecules. When the polymer is a polyamide, the polyamide is in a noncrystalline state due to the inhibition of crystallization imparted by the size and shape of the colorant molecules because the colorant is separated on a molecular level. A high colorant availability is obtained. A method of producing the polymer composite includes the steps of forming a metastable polymer resin layer, applying a film of colorant to the layer, stabilizing the layer, dissolving the stable layer in a solvent, aspirating the solution to remove impurities and aggregates and then removing the solvent. A polymer composition can be produced by mixing the polymer composite with a polymer.

Method for producing silicon dioxide film which prevents escape of Si

A process for forming a silica film on a substrate which comprises bringing the substrate into contact with an aqueous solution of hydrosilicofluoric acid supersaturated with silica, wherein the supersaturated solution is filled in an inner vessel which is opened downwardly so as to allow the introduction of the substrate thereinto and is arranged inside an outer vessel at a distance from the side walls and the bottom of the outer vessel, and a liquid material having substantially no reactivity and miscibility with the supersaturated solution and having a higher specific gravity than the supersaturated solution is charged in the outer vessel so as to retain the supersaturated solution in the inner vessel without flowing down toward the bottom of the outer vessel, and whereby the supersaturated solution is prevented from being exposed to the atmosphere and accordingly the process can be practiced at high deposition rate in high efficiency and yield without evaporating effective Si components which result in formation of silica particles outside the vessels.
