The present invention pertains to a fluorescent-material-containing resin sheet to be used as a light-emitting element. The present invention addresses the problem of obtaining a fluorescent-material-containing resin sheet which exhibits excellent formability, favorable light resistance, and favorable heat resistance, and when used as a light-emitting element, has high brightness and low variation in light emission between chips. As a means of solving this problem, this fluorescent-material-containing resin sheet contains a fluorescent material, a resin, and metal oxide particles (I) having an average particle diameter of 10-200 nm, wherein the amount of the fluorescent material contained therein is 250-1000 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the resin. Preferably, this sheet also contains metal oxide particles (II) having an average particle diameter of 300-1000 nm, and as a separate embodiment, preferably contains silicone fine particles.

Disclosed is a plastic-clad optical fiber (PCF) comprising a quartz core and a polymer clad as tightly formed around the core, in which the clad has a multi-layered structure of a plurality of different polymers, and the refractive index of the core (n,), that of the first clad as tightly formed around the core (n,) and that of the second clad as tightly formed over the first clad (n,) satisfy both 0.21 &lE;(n,&minus;n,)&lE;0.35 and n,<n,. This is a wide-band PCF which exhibits reduced loss in connection with crimp-style connectors, reduced bending loss, and lower transmission loss with temperature changes. Therefore, this PCF is useful as a light information-transmitting material in constructing ATM-LAN, high-speed Ethernet, etc.

A method of manufacturing multiaxial thick woven fabrics (8) using healds (3) through which warps are passed, a shuttle (5) reciprocating so as to insert wefts (6) in a warp shedding portion (19) formed by the healds, a reed (9), and a woven fabric removing device (10). A large number of healds are provided in parallel in the direction of woven fabric removal. The shedding portion is formed by passing a plurality of warps so that predetermined thickness and width of the woven fabric are produced through the healds and by widely reciprocating the healds in the width direction, moving the shedding position sequentially from one side to the other side, inserting a weft sequentially in the shedding portion and arranging it by shifting the weft position in the width direction. A texture of the first row of predetermined width and thickness is formed by fixing warps. Multiaxial thick woven fabric of a continuous length is produced by performing shedding, weft insertion, and beating sequentially, so that when the shedding position shifts from the travel passage of the shuttle, the woven fabric removing device is moved vertically by an up and down motion rack in cooperation with the travel passage of the shuttle.

A profiled cross-section three-dimensional woven fabric having a plurality of woven, mutually intersecting filaments woven in longitudinal, transverse and vertical planes, with transverse planes of different widths and vertical planes of different height within a cross-section of the woven fabric perpendicular to the longitudinal woven filament planes. The woven filament in the transverse planes moving upward or downward while transversely reciprocating over a width which changes with the width of the woven filaments in each longitudinal woven plane and being disposed between vertically adjacent planes of longitudinal filaments. The woven filaments in the vertical planes moving longitudinally to the height of disposition of the longitudinal and transverse filaments in a plane perpendicular to the transverse filaments and being continuously disposed between longitudinally adjacent layers of transverse filaments, clamping the transverse and longitudinal filaments to unite them together. An even number of transverse filaments are inserted into at least one each transversely elongated transverse space surrounded by vertically adjacent vertical filaments with one or a plurality of the transverse filaments inserted into each loop formed by adjacent vertical filaments above the longitudinal filaments in the uppermost layer and below the longitudinal filaments in the lowermost layer.

The present invention provides expandable plastics having a molecular weight of 50,000 to 500,000 which comprises the following structural units (I), (II) and (III) giving a foam having heat resistance and fine structure by heating, the molar ratio of (I+II) to (III) being 1 to 0.6-1.5 and the proportion of (I) being 5 to 50 wt. % of the total components: ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. When the copolymer, the expandable plastics, of the present invention is used, white foams having a very fine texture are obtained without using special foaming agents, and besides the heat resistance of the foams is high and the amount of water absorbed thereby is little. The foams of the present invention, therefore, can be used in a wide range as soundproofing materials and heat insulators for which the conventional foams cannot be used because of their low heat resistance, and substitutes for honeycomb structures used in airplanes.

Expandable plastics and their foams

Textile structures for producing structural members such as reinforced spars of composite material and a method for producing the textile structures. In the textile structure at least two textile planar members, or plates, are integrally joined together by textile filaments such that the planes of the members intersect each other, at least one member being formed of layers of textile filaments which extend obliquely in at least two directions in a brace fashion with respect to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the member while the remaining members are each formed of layers of textile filaments extending along the longitudinal, transverse and vertical directions of the member. The textile structures are made by disposing filament guide members of required length in a vertical direction according to a desired configuration and design density of the structures and laying out textile filaments among said filament guide members so that they move longitudinally, transversely or orthogonally to form a plurality of textile planar members. The members are joined together by extracting the filament guide members and inserting filaments in the spaces vacated by the filament guide members.

A fibrous structure for reinforcing a composite material which is a bottomed hollow pillar-shaped body having fins extending outwardly from a peripheral side wall of the body. The composite material-reinforcing fibrous structure consists of a plurality of longitudinally adjoining yarn section, each section being a plurality of layers, or tiers, of a first continuous yarn. A second continuous yarn is disposed substantially perpendicularly to the layers of first continuous yarn, and a third continuous yarn passes into loops formed in the second continuous yarn adjacent an outside layer of the first continuous yarn. The second continuous yarn functions as a common longitudinal component yarn in coextensive portions of the adjoining yarn sections and as an independent longitudinal component yarn in portions of the yarn sections which do not adjoin other yarn sections.
