Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 24 words
A porous solid member as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cured resin is present in the polyvinyl acetal body as previously mixed therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 26 words
A porous solid member as claimed in claim 1 wherein said cured resin is present in the polyvinyl acetal body as previously impregnated and cured therein.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 159 words
A method of producing a porous solid member of claim 3 which comprises heating a mixture of an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol, an aldehyde, an acetalization acid catalyst and a pore-producing agent selected from starch and dextrin at a temperature of 30* - 70* C. for 10-30 hours to obtain a solid porous polyvinyl acetal body having a porosity of 40-90 percent and an acetalization degree of 60-84 percent (mol), washing and drying the same, impregnating the porous polyvinyl acetal body with a solution of a precondensate or monomer of curable resin selected from the group consisting of phenol-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins and epoxy resins formed from a member selected from the group consisting of bisphenol-epichlorohydrin precondensates, epoxylated polyolefins, diglycidyl ethers of polyethylene glycols, diglycidyl ethers of polypropylene glycols, diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A, 1,10-dimethoxy-3,4,7,8-diepoxydecane and 2,6-diglycidyl phenylglycidyl ether, and a cuRing catalyst therefor, and then heating the impregnated porous body at 60* - 150* C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 123 words
A method of producing a porous solid member of claim 2 which comprises mixing an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol, an aldehyde, an acid catalyst, a pore-producing agent selected from starch and dextrin, and a precondensate or monomer of curable resin selected from the group consisting of phenol-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins and epoxy resins, formed from a member selected from the group consisting of bisphenol-epichlorohydrin precondensates, epoxylated polyolefins, diglycidyl ethers of polyethylene glycols, diglycidyl ethers of polypropylene glycols, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, 1,10-dimethoxy-3,4,7,8 diepoxydecane and 2, 6-diglycidyl phenylglycidyl phenylglycidyl ether, heating the mixture at 30* - 70* C. for 10-30 hours to conduct the acetalizaton and curing of the resin, and then washing and drying the resulting solid porous body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
A method according to claim 4 wherein the aldehyde is selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butylaldehyde, 2-ethylhexylaldehyde, laurylaldehyde, glyoxal and benzaldehyde.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
A method according to claim 5 wherein the aldehyde is selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butylaldehyde, 2-ethylhexylaldehyde, laurylaldehyde, glyoxal and benzaldehyde.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
A porous solid member according to claim 1, wherein the cured resin is a phenol-formaldehyde resin.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
A porous solid member according to claim 1 wherein the resin is a melamine-formaldehyde resin.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
A porous solid member according to claim 1 wherein the cured resin is a urea-formaldehyde resin.
