Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further improve orientation property of thin film forming materials, uniformity and controllability in thickness of a thin film, and stability in forming the thin film. SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing a carbon nanotube thin film 18 includes the first step of preparing a carbon nanotube dispersion liquid 8 including the carbon nanotube dispersed by mixing the carbon nanotube and surface active agent, the second step of forming a dispersion liquid film 31 formed of the carbon nanotube dispersion liquid 8 at the internal circumferential side of an annular dispersion liquid film holding ring 35, the third step of moving the carbon nanotube dispersion liquid 8 to the surface of a substrate 37 in the form of a film by relatively sliding the cylindrical substrate 37 arranged along the internal circumference of the dispersion liquid film holding ring 35 between the central part and external circumferential part of internal space of the dispersion liquid film holding ring 35 and the dispersion liquid film 31 under the condition that these are placed in contact, and the fourth step of forming the carbon nanotube thin film 18 by drying up the dispersion liquid film formed on the surface of the substrate 37.

Abstract:
Water-based polyurethane dispersion methodology relating to a chain-extended polyurethane, characterized in that the polyurethane dispersion includes 2, 5, 7, 10-tetraoxaundecane. The water-based polyurethane dispersion is suitable as a non-hazardous water-based coating composition for coatings with a particularly good adhesion on plastic or rubber substrates. The solvent 2, 5, 7, 10-tetraoxaundecane contained therein imparts good film coalescing, good adhesive properties and high strength of the polyurethane dispersion.
Abstract:
Methods of temporarily enhancing the luster and/or brilliance of a piece of jewelry, a gem stone, or a piece of jewelry including a gem stone including applying a non-aqueous composition to the piece of jewelry, the gem stone, or the piece of jewelry including a gem stone.
Abstract:
A method of applying a gas-impermeable coating includes forming a polyelectrolyte complex suspension. The polyelectrolyte complex suspension is applied to a substrate. The substrate having the polyelectrolyte complex applied thereon is treated. The treating reduces salt content of the polyelectrolyte complex. The treating results in a gas-impermeable coating being formed on the substrate.
Abstract:
An ink film construction consisting: (a) a printing substrate; and (b) at least one ink film, fixedly adhered to a top surface of the printing substrate, the ink film having an upper film surface distal to the top surface of the substrate, wherein a surface concentration of nitrogen at the upper film surface exceeds a bulk concentration of nitrogen within the film, the bulk concentration measured at a depth of at least 30 nanometers below the upper film surface, and wherein a ratio of the surface concentration to the bulk concentration is at least 1.1 to 1.
Abstract:
