Provided are: an all-solid battery having excellent load characteristics; and an electrode for an all-solid battery, which is for forming said all-solid battery. The present invention pertains to goals 12, 3, 7, and 11 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This electrode for an all-solid battery has a molded body of a mixture, which contains: an electrode material containing an active material; a solid electrolyte; and a conductive auxiliary agent, and is characterized in that: the electrode material consists of composite particles having a layer which contains, on at least a part of the surface thereof, a solid electrolyte A1 or solid electrolyte A2 containing a specific element; the molded body of the mixture has, between the composite particles, a solid electrolyte B1 or solid electrolyte B2 containing a specific element; and the composition of the solid electrolyte A1 and the composition of the solid electrolyte B1 satisfy a specific relationship, or the composition of the solid electrolyte A2 and the composition of the solid electrolyte B2 satisfy a specific relationship.
Provided is a polylactic acid decomposition method with which polylactic acid can be decomposed while suppressing energy consumption. This polylactic acid decomposition method comprises: a step for introducing, in a reaction device, polylactic acid and an additive which is a mixture of one or more types of compounds selected from the group consisting of alkali metal salts, alkaline-earth metal salts, alkali metal oxides, and alkaline-earth metal oxides (step S3); and a step for retaining or kneading said polylactic acid and said additive under a condition where the moisture content expressed by the following equation is 0.15-3.0% (step S4). Moisture content = Mass of moisture in the reaction device/(Mass of the polylactic acid + Mass of the additive + Mass of moisture added from outside). Herein, the mass of moisture in the reaction device includes the mass of moisture adhering to the polylactic acid and the additive and also the mass of moisture added from outside, and the mass of the polylactic acid, as well as the mass of the additive, is the mass including the mass of moisture adhering thereto respectively.

Provided is a biodegradable-resin decomposition device with which a decomposition product of stable quality can be obtained even when the feed material fluctuates in property. The biodegradable-resin decomposition device (1) is a device in which a biodegradable resin having ester bonds is kneaded together with an additive to decompose the biodegradable resin, and comprises a reactor (11) into which the biodegradable resin and the additive are introduced, a screw (12) which kneads the contents of the reactor (11), a heater (13) which heats the reactor (11), a viscometer (152) with which the viscosity of a decomposition product is measured, and a controller (40) which controls the screw (12) and/or the heater (13) on the basis of the viscosity measured with the viscometer (152).

Provided is a lightweight step board that has excellent strength. A step board 1 that comprises a plurality of step board members 2 that are aligned in the width direction, making it so that the step board members 2 on either side support a worker even if some of the step board members 2 break. The step board members 2 each include a resin foamed layer 21 that comprises a polycarbonate resin or the like and a fiber-reinforced resin layer 22 that comprises carbon fibers or the like and is layered on a principal surface of the resin foamed layer 21, and, when Lc is the span of the step board members 2 in the longitudinal direction, the breaking weight (Wcb) of the step board members 2 is greater than 980Lc (N). As a result, the step board members 2 are lightweight but have increased strength and therefore make for a safer step board.
