20160064643 | HIGHLY CONTROLLABLE ELECTROACTIVE MATERIALS AND ELECTROACTIVE ACTUATORS CAPABLE OF PRONOUNCED CONTRACTION AND EXPANSION - This invention describes a method for producing highly controllable motion in electroactive materials and electroactive actuators capable of pronounced contraction and expansion, which act as synthetic muscle, tendon, fascia, perimysium, epimysium, and skin that wrinkles, comprising ion-containing, cross-linked electroactive material(s); solvent(s); electrode(s); attachments to levers or other objects; and coating(s). Restriction of movement in undesired direction(s) produces pronounced movement in the desired direction(s). The electroactive material itself or the electroactive actuator may be used individually or grouped to produce movement when activated by electricity. This invention can provide for human-like motion, durability, toughness, speed, and strength. The electroactive materials and electroactive actuators, with highly controllable motion, can be attached to objects and devices to produce motion with no metal pulleys, gears, or motors needed. | 03-03-2016 |
20160106655 | SKIN CLEANSING COMPOSITION - Provided is a skin cleansing composition comprising the following components (A), (B), and (C): (A) from 0.5 to 40 mass % of an ether oil in a liquid state at 25° C., (B) from 0.01 to 5 mass % of a nonionic water-soluble polymer comprising cellulose as a constitutional unit selected from the group consisting of methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and (C) water, and 1 mass % or less of a nonionic surfactant, wherein the mass ratio of the component (B) to the component (A), (B)/(A) is from 0.001 to 5. | 04-21-2016 |
