A light emitting device, including a light emitting element, and a resin layer that has been screen printed to coat said light emitting element is provided. The resin layer is formed from a curable silicone resin composition, which includes (i) an organopolysiloxane with a polystyrene equivalent weight average molecular weight of at least 5×103, (ii) a condensation catalyst, (iii) a solvent, and (iv) a finely powdered inorganic filler. The uniformity of the film thickness is excellent, thus resulting in little color irregularities during light emission from the light emitting element.

In a multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a solid core consisting of a center core and an outer core, an inner cover layer and an outer cover layer, the solid core is molded from a rubber composition comprising a base rubber composed of (a) a polybutadiene having a high cis-1,4 content, a minimal 1,2 vinyl content and a viscosity η of up to 600 mPa·s at 25° C. as a 5 wt % toluene solution, being synthesized using a rare-earth catalyst, in combination with (b) another diene rubber, (c) an unsaturated carboxylic acid, (d) an organosulfur compound, (e) an inorganic filler, and (f) an organic peroxide; and the center core has a specific JIS-C hardness on its center and a specific JIS-C hardness on its surface and the certain difference, the outer core is harder than the surface hardness of the center core, the cross-sectional hardness of 1 mm outside from the border between the center core and the outer core is a specific range on JIS-C hardness, the surface of the outer core has a specific JIS-C hardness, the inner cover layer has a specific Shore D hardness; the outer cover layer has a specific Shore D hardness; and the outer cover layer has a lower Shore D hardness than the inner cover layer. This combination of features gives the ball a good, soft feel upon impact and an excellent spin performance that provides increased distance.

Compositions and methods for manufacturing sheets having a starch-bound matrix reinforced with fibers and optionally including an inorganic mineral filler. Suitable mixtures for forming the sheets are prepared by mixing together water, unmodified and ungelatinized starch granules, an auxiliary water-dispersible organic polymer, fibers, and optionally an inorganic mineral filler in the correct proportions to form a sheet having desired properties. The mixtures are formed into sheets by passing them between one or more sets of heated rollers to form green sheets. The heated rollers cause the auxiliary polymer to form a skin on the outer surfaces of the sheet that prevents the starch granules from causing the sheet to adhere to the rollers upon gelation of the starch. The green sheets are passed between heated rollers to gelatinize the starch granules, and then to dry the sheet by removing a substantial portion of the water by evaporation. The starch and auxiliary polymer form the binding matrix of the sheets with the fibers and optional inorganic filler dispersed throughout the binding matrix. The starch-bound sheets can be cut, rolled, pressed, scored, perforated, folded, and glued to fashion articles from the sheets much like paper or paperboard. The sheets are particularly useful in the mass production of containers, such as food and beverage containers.

Biodegradable polymer blends suitable for laminate coatings, wraps and other packaging materials are manufactured from a blend of suitable biodegradable polymers, such as at least one “hard” biopolymer and at least one “soft” biopolymer. “Hard” biopolymers tend to be more brittle and rigid and typically have a glass transition temperature greater than about 10° C. “Soft” biopolymers tend to be more flexible and pliable and typically have a glass transition temperature less than about 0° C. While hard and soft polymers each possess certain intrinsic benefits, certain blends of hard and soft polymers have been discovered which possess synergistic properties superior to those of either hard or soft polymers by themselves. Biodegradable polymers include polyesters, polyesteramides, polyesterurethanes, thermoplastic starch, and other natural polymers. The polymer blends may optionally include an inorganic filler. Films and sheets made from the polymer blends may be textured so as to increase the bulk hand feel. Wraps will typically be manufactured to have good “dead-fold” properties so as to remain in a wrapped position and not spring back to an “unwrapped” form.

Diene rubber compositions are described containing a diene elastomer, a reinforcing inorganic filler, and a coupling agent wherein the inorganic filler includes a silica having the following characteristics:(a) a BET specific surface area between 45 and 400 m2 / g;(b) a CTAB specific surface area between 40 and 380 m2 / g;(c) an average particle size (by mass), dw, of 20 to 300 nm;and at least one of the following characteristics, preferably two and more preferably all three:(d) a particle size distribution such that dw≧ / CTAB)−30;(e) a porosity which meets the criterion L / FI≧−0.0025 CTAB+0.85;(f) an amount of silanols per unit of surface area, NSiOH / nm2; NSiOH / nm2≦−0.027 CTAB+10.5.These diene rubber compositions can be used for the manufacture of tires or of semi-finished products intended for tires.
