A composite material including a carbon-containing material and a non-stoichiometric titanium compound shown by a chemical formula of LiTiO, where x is in a range of 0&#x3c;x&#x3c;0.30, the composite material including at least one composite particle that has a core portion including the non-stoichiometric titanium compound and a mixed layer formed on a surface of the core portion, the mixed layer including non-stoichiometric titanium compound and carbon, and having an atomic ratio of titanium and carbon in a range of Ti/C=1/50 or more.

Non-stoichiometric titanium compound-carbon composite, method for producing same, negative electrode active material and lithium ion secondary battery

Provided by the present invention is an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition having superior appearance characteristics (particularly decreased coloring and unevenness of the hue), and is accompanied by suppressed occurrence of yellowing, etc., in melt molding. An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) and a compound having an enediol structure (B), in which a molar ratio of the compound (B) to vinyl alcohol units of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) is 2.70&#xd7;10or greater and 2.70&#xd7;10or less.

Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition and method for producing same

Provided is by the present invention is a method for producing an EVOH resin having sufficient long-run workability in melt molding and enabling prevention of coloring such as yellowing, an EVOH resin obtained by this method for production, and a laminate obtained from this resin. The present invention is a method for producing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, the method including a step of saponifying an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer to obtain an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, in which the method is characterized by further including a step of irradiating the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer or the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with an infrared ray.

Method for producing ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, and multilayer structure

A multilayered structure comprising at least 2 layers of a gas barrier resin layer and a protective layer, at least 1 layer thereof containing a deodorant, and a colostomy bag having excellent odor barrier properties (skatole and ammonia barrier properties) made of the film of the multilayered structure.
