Abstract

The present invention provides carbon nanotube aggregates that have excellent conductivity in a carbon nanotube dispersion and that make it possible to obtain a carbon nanotube dispersion that has an appropriate density. The present invention provides carbon nanotube aggregates that satisfy conditions (1) and (2) and a use for the carbon nanotube aggregates. (1) The carbon nanotube aggregates contain Na atoms, and the Na atom content is less than 200 mass ppm relative to the total mass of the carbon nanotube aggregates. (2) The elongation at break as measured by the following method is greater than 0% but no greater than 3.0%. The elongation at break is measured by preparing a dispersion that includes the carbon nanotube aggregates, pouring the dispersion onto a plate, using a tensile testing device to perform a tensile test on a measurement sample obtained by drying the dispersion by heating at 100°C, and calculating the elongation at break from the length of the measurement sample before measurement and the length of the measurement sample at a breaking point that is the point of maximum stress.

Abstract

The present invention provides, for example, a carbon nanotube aggregate that makes it possible to produce a battery having excellent cycle characteristics. Provided are: a carbon nanotube aggregate satisfying the following conditions (1) and (2); and applications thereof. (1) The content of amorphous carbon is not less than 0.1 mass% but less than 2.0 mass% with respect to the total mass of the carbon nanotube aggregate. (2) The breaking elongation rate as measured by the following measurement method is more than 0% but not more than 3.0%. In the measurement method for the breaking elongation rate, a dispersion containing the carbon nanotube aggregate is prepared. The obtained dispersion is caused to flow on a plate and then heated at 100°C and dried to obtain a measurement sample. The measurement sample is subjected to a tensile test with a tensile test device. The point at which stress reaches a maximum is considered to be the breaking point. The breaking elongation rate is calculated from the length of the measurement sample at the breaking point and the length of the measurement sample prior to the measurement.

Abstract

The present invention prevents malfunction of an electromagnetic contactor. An electrical connection box (10) comprises: an electromagnetic contactor (20) having a coil (45), a pair of fixed terminals (26), and a movable contact (56); and a conductive member (21) that generates a magnetic field (27M) by energization. The electromagnetic contactor (20) has a magnetic frame (32) that is disposed so as to face an outer surface of the coil (45) and concentrates magnetic flux of a magnetic field (45M) generated by energization of the coil (45). The movable contact (56) is displaced, by a magnetic force (F) generated in a central portion of the coil (45) due to concentration of the magnetic flux by the magnetic frame (32), to a conduction position where the pair of fixed terminals (26) are short-circuited. The conductive member (21) has a magnetic field interference portion (27) disposed between the outer surface of the coil (45) and the magnetic frame (32). The direction of a current flowing through the magnetic field interference portion (27) is the same as the direction of a current (45E) flowing through a region (45A) of the coil (45) facing the magnetic field interference portion (27).

Abstract

A voltage conversion unit converts a voltage input from a power supply unit side and applies an output voltage between first and second conductive paths. A control unit performs feedback control to control the voltage conversion unit so that the output voltage matches a target voltage. A drive unit causes current from the first conductive path to flow toward a current input unit when a cutoff condition is met. A current limiting unit limits current flowing from the power supply unit side to the voltage conversion unit side. The parallel switch is provided in parallel with the current limiting unit. The control unit starts the feedback control in a state where the cutoff condition is not met. When the cutoff condition is met, the parallel switch switches to an on state, and current flows from the power supply unit side to the voltage conversion unit side via the parallel switch.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a colored curable resin composition that contains silica particles, the colored curable resin composition making it possible to form a cured product having a sufficiently high haze, and being less susceptible to sedimentation of the silica particles. The present invention provides a colored curable resin composition that contains a colorant, a resin, a polymerizable compound, a polymerization initiator, and silica particles. X and Y satisfy the conditions of formula (1) and formula (2), where X (nm) is the average particle diameter of the silica particles, and Y (mass%) is the silica particle content with reference to the total solids content of the colored curable resin composition. Formula (1): 25 ≤ X ≤ 600; Formula (2): −0.019X + 12.9 ≤ Y ≤ −0.075X + 58.8
