An antimicrobial composition is prepared containing an aryl compound carrying an oleophilic substituent and a hydrophilic substituent, and an antimicrobial agent coordinated to the hydrophilic substituent. The oleophilic substituent is a straight alkyl radical from 6 to 24 carbon atoms and the hydrophilic substituent is a sulpho or hydroxyl group. The antimicrobial agent is an imidazole, a benzimi...

A hydrous gel consisting essentially of a water-in-oil dispersion cured with a crosslinking agent. The dispersion comprises a rubber component in which water is dispersed in the form of droplets in the presence of a surfactant. The rubber component is based on a liquid polyisoprene rubber having a cis-1,4 content of not less than 70% and a molecular weight of 8,000 to 120,000 or a modified polyiso...

PURPOSE:To simplify the constitution of a semiconductor device by using the same silicon substrate as an external leading-out electrode for a device with two different conduction type regions and electrically insulating the substrate by an internal P-N junction. CONSTITUTION:An external leading-out electrode plate 7' consists of an silicon substrate having low resistance, and a P type diffusion re...
