`AMENDMENT TO THE CLAIMS
`
`This listing of claims will replace all prior versions, andlistings, of claims in the
`
`application.
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1. (Currently Amended) Aninsulating material comprising:
`
`a Silica xerogel; and
`
`a nonwoven fabric made ofa plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers, wherein:
`
`the silica xerogelis filled in the nonwoven fabric to form a single layer essentially
`
`consisting of the nonwoven fabric and the silica xerogel.,
`
`whereteach of the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers contains an oxidized acrylic, and
`
`at least a part of a surface of each of the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers in the single
`
`layer is modified with a carboxyl group such that the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers
`
`comprise the carboxyl group.
`
`2-3. (Cancelled)
`
`4, (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein the silica
`
`xerogel has a content of 30 to 80 weight% in a total weight of the insulating material.
`
`5. (Currently Amended) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein each of the
`
`plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers have-dtameters-ofhas a diameter ranging from 1 to 30 Um.
`
`6. (Cancelled)
`
`7. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein each of
`
`the plurality of nonwovenfabric fibers has a curved portion.
`
`8. (Original) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein thesilica xerogel is an
`
`organically modified silica xerogel that generates a flammable gas at 300°C or more.
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/228,742
`
`Docket No.: 083710-2481
`
`9. (Currently Amended) The insulating material according to claim 1, further
`
`comprising[[:]]
`
`
`
`a silica xerogel layer containingthat contains only the silica xerogel without containing
`
`the nonwovenfabric[[,]] and islaminated on the eempesite-single layer.
`
`10. (Cancelled)
`
`11. (Original) A device comprising the insulating material of claim 1 installed as a part of
`
`a heat insulating or a cold insulating structure, or installed between a heat-generating part and a
`
`casing.
`
`12-18. (Cancelled)
`
`19. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers are capable of generating carbon dioxide by reacting with
`
`atmospheric oxygen at a temperature of 300°C or more.
`
`20. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`oxidized acrylic is an oxidized acrylic with a partly remaining nitrile group.
`
`21. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 1, wherein the
`
`oxidized acrylic is a completely cyclized oxidized acrylic.
`
`22-23. (Cancelled)
`
`24. (Currently Amended) An insulating material comprising:
`
`a Silica xerogel; and
`
`a nonwoven fabric made ofa plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers, wherein:
`
`
`
`Application No. 16/228,742
`
`Docket No.: 083710-2481
`
`the silica xerogelis filled in the nonwoven fabric to form a single layer essentially
`
`consisting of the nonwoven fabric and the silica xerogel.,
`
`at least a part of a surface of each of the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers in the single
`
`layer is modified with a carboxyl group suchthat the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers
`
`comprise the carboxyl group,
`
`at least a part of a surface ofthe silica xerogel is organically modified, and
`
`the plurality of nonwovenfabric fibers are capable of generating carbon dioxide by
`
`reacting with atmospheric oxygen at a temperature of 300°C or more.
`
`25. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 24, wherein at least
`
`a part of a surface of each of the plurality of nonwoven fabric fibers is modified with a carboxyl
`
`group.
`
`26. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 24, wherein each of
`
`the plurality of nonwovenfabric fibers contains an oxidized acrylic.
`
`27. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 26, wherein the
`
`oxidized acrylic is an oxidized acrylic with a partly remaining nitrile group.
`
`28. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 26, wherein the
`
`oxidized acrylic is a completely cyclized oxidized acrylic.
`
`29. (Previously Presented) The insulating material according to claim 24, wherein the
`
`silica xerogel generates a flammable gas at 300°C or more.
`
`30. (New) The insulating material according to claim 24, further comprising a silica
`
`xerogel layer that contains only the silica xerogel without containing the nonwoven fabric andis
`
`laminated on the single layer.
