An object of the present invention is to provide a water absorbent having excellent gel properties and showing excellent properties when used in a water-absorbing material of a sanitary / hygienic material such as paper diaper. Moreover, another object of the present invention is to provide a water absorbent which is safe and excellent in liquid permeability, and in which an amount of liquid permeability improver for improving the liquid permeability is reduced. The water absorbent is made from a water-absorbing resin prepared by a specific polymerization method and having a high degree of cross-linking, a high liquid holding property and a high gel strength (its swelling pressure of gel layer of is 35 kdyne / cm2 or more). This water absorbent is further processed to have a particular particle size distribution (95 wt % or more of its particles are less than 850ƒÊm but not less than 106ƒÊm, and logarithmic standard deviation (ƒĐƒÄ) is in a range of 0.25 to 0.45) and then surface cross-linked. After that, a liquid permeability improver is added therein.

The invention provides a novel rinsing fluid which can convert an easily wettable resist pattern surface having a contact angle of 40° or below into one having a contact angle of 70° or above to inhibit pattern collapse effectively and thereby give high-quality products. The rinsing fluid consists of a solution containing at least one fluorine compound soluble in water or alcoholic solvents which is selected from among compounds represented by the general formula (I),those represented by the general formula (II),and those represented by the general formula: Rf′—COOH: wherein R1 and R2 are each optionally substituted C1-5 alkyl whose hydrogen atoms are partially or wholly replaced by fluorine, or R1 and R2 together with the SO2 groups to which they are bonded and the nitrogen atom may form a five- or six-membered ring; Rf is optionally substituted C1-5 alkyl whose hydrogen atoms are partially or wholly replaced by fluorine; m and n are each an integer of 2 or 3; and Rf′ is at least partially fluorinated alkyl having 8 to 20 carbon atoms.

An apparatus for preparing a finger nail or a toe nail for a coating in that a gas discharge is ignited above the nail at atmospheric pressure comprises an electrode to be arranged above the nail, and a high voltage generator generating a high voltage to be applied to the electrode arranged above the nail for igniting the gas discharge between the electrode and the nail.

An organic-inorganic hybrid composition including a polymer having a triazine ring structure in a main chain of the polymer (A);an inorganic particulate (B); and a surface-treating agent having a triazine ring structure represented by Formula (1)(C):wherein, in Formula (1), R1 is a carboxyl group, a phosphoric acid group, a sulfo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aralkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group, wherein a number median diameter (Dn50) of the inorganic particulate (B) is greater than or equal to about 1 nm and less than or equal to about 20 nm.

A method for processing an amorphous carbon film which has been formed on a substrate and wet-cleaned after being dry-etched includes preparing the substrate having the wet-cleaned amorphous carbon film and modifying a surface of the amorphous carbon film, before forming an upper layer on the wet-cleaned amorphous carbon film.

The invention relates in particular to a method for creating patterns in a layer (410) to be etched, starting from a stack comprising at least the layer (410) to be etched and a masking, layer (420) on top of the layer (410) to be etched, the masking layer (420) having at least one pattern (421), the method comprising at least:a) a step of modifying at least one zone (411) of the layer (410) to be etched via ion implantation (430) vertically in line with said at least one pattern (421);b) at least one sequence of steps comprising: b1) a step of enlarging (440) the at least one pattern (421) in a plane in which the layer (410) to be etched mainly extends;b2) a step of modifying at least one zone (411′, 411″) of the layer (410) to be etched via ion implantation (430) vertically in line with the at least one enlarged pattern (421), the implantation being carried out over a depth less than the implantation depth of the preceding, modification step;c) a step of removing (461, 462) the modified zones (411, 411′, 411″), the removal comprising a step of etching the modified zones (411, 411′, 411″) selectively with respect to the non-modified zones (412) of the layer (410) to be etched.

The synthesis of precipitated silica having improved chemical and physical properties of use as a reinforcing filler in polymeric matrices is described. Improvements in the properties result from the synthesis of the silica al a reduced ionic strength. In particular, the use of silicia acid during synthesis, provides a solution of reduced ionic strength, which favors the formation of improved colloidal structure via increased aggregation and reduced agglomeration. In addition, the surface of the silica precipitate formed may be modified by the addition of surface modifying agents, during synthesis to further enhance the desired reinforcing properties of the precipitated silica. The invention also embodies polymeric compositions of improved tensile and elongation strengths, with the compositions including precipitated silica, synthesized at reduced ionic strengths and having modified surfaces, in combination with a polymeric compound.
