An anti-fog article is obtained by coating a substrate with an anti-fog coating material to form thereon an anti-fog coating film that is hydrophillic, moisture-absorptive, insoluble and excellent in surface hardness. The anti-fog coating material contains a polyacrylic acid compound, polyvinyl alcohol and acetylacetone, and optionally sodium silicate.

Anti-fog coating material and method of preparing an anti-fog article

Disclosed herein is an anti-fogging coating material comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of an inorganic alkoxide, a hydrolysate of the inorganic alkoxide and a polycondensate of the hydrolysate of the inorganic alkoxide, a polyacrylic, and polyvinyl alcohol.

Anti-fogging coating material, anti-fogging coating film and anti-fogging article

An antireflection film is provided which is insoluble, wear-resistant, and weatherable, and simultaneously having non-fogging property. A non-fogging optical member employing the non-fogging antireflection film, and a process for producing the film are also provided. The non-fogging antireflection film is formed from a composition derived by polycondensation of a hydrolyzate of an inorganic alkoxide conducted in the presence of a polyacrylic acid compound.

Non-fogging antireflection film and optical member, and production

An anti-fogging coating composition contains (a) an inorganic alkoxide and/or a hydroxyl group-containing polymer formed therefrom by hydrolysis and polycondensation, the inorganic alkoxide being represented by the formula (I):

Anti-fogging coating composition, anti-fogging coated article and method

A recording medium for business machines has an ink-receiving layer provided on a substrate. The ink-receiving layer comprises a highly water-absorbent material in which an organic material selected from acrylic acids and polyacrylic acids and an inorganic material selected from inorganic alkoxides and metal alkoxides are grafted.

Recording medium for business machines, production thereof, and ink-jet

An aromatic composition comprises aromatic substances that are encapsulated and/or clathrated in a matrix of polymer. The polymer includes an inorganic polymer produced from metal alkoxides; a conjugated polymer produced from metal alkoxides and silane coupling agents; and a conjugated polymer produced from metal alkoxides, silane coupling agents, and organic monomers. The aromatic composition has slow-release charactristics, so that the aromatic substances are released over a long period of time. In a method for the production of the aromatic composition, a catalyst for sol-gel methods that comprises an acid or its anhydride and an organic base, and if necessary, irradiation with ultraviolet light and/or an electron beam are used for making the polymer.
