Abstract:
A method of forming a zinc or indium oxide layer at the surface of phosphors deposited by serigraphy on a substrate, including the steps of adding the grains to a solution of a serigraphy binder in water, dissolving in the solution a zinc or indium nitrate, performing the serigraphy deposition, and annealing.
Abstract:
A method for producing nanoscale titanium dioxide particles which are coated with an oxide, a hydroxide or an oxide hydroxide of Al, Ce, Zr and/or Si wherein the enzymatic precipitant system urease/urea is used. Said coated titanium dioxide particles can have an average size of less than 50 nm, the coating providing effective protection against photocatalytic reactions. The coated particles are suitable, in particular, as UV absorbers in a transparent organic matrix.

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a coating film formation process which enables the formation of a coating film excellent in the metal-tone aesthetic appearance and the invisibility of aluminum flakes. As a means of achieving this object, the coating film formation process according to the present invention is a coating film formation process comprising the steps of: coating a solvent type base coat paint (B1) onto a substrate to thus form a coating film (b1) thereon; and then, after the nonvolatile component content of the coating film (b1) has reached not lower than 40 weight %, coating a shining-material-containing aqueous base coat paint (B2) onto the coating film (b1) to thus form a coating film (b2) thereon; and then, after the nonvolatile component content of the coating film (b2) has reached not lower than 70 weight %, coating a top clear paint onto the coating film (b2) to thus form a clear coating film thereon; and thereafter carrying out simultaneous baking of the formed three layers of coating films; with the process being characterized in that, as the shining-material-containing aqueous base coat paint (B2), there is used a paint which contains a rheology control agent of 0.5 to 6.0 phr in nonvolatile component weight relative to the resin's solid components and has a paint's nonvolatile component content of 10 to 20 weight % and a Ti value of not less than 3.0.

Abstract:
A wire guide includes a mandrel that has a proximal portion and a distal portion. A first coating with a low coefficient of friction is disposed on the proximal portion of the mandrel. A second coating is disposed on the distal portion of the mandrel, where the second coating provides a sub-structure. A third coating is disposed on the second coating, where the third coating comprises a surface that allows for easy maneuverability of the wire guide. The first coating on the proximal portion provides enough lubricity to keep the wire guide from becoming bound or stuck in a catheter or medical device while still allowing a user to have a good grip of the wire guide. The second coating on the distal portion provides lubricity for the wire guide, which allows the user to easily maneuver the wire guide through a vascular anatomy.
Abstract:
An apparatus, method of producing, method of operation and method of construction for producing a decoratively colored finish ground wood material includes providing a hopper adjacent a conveyor mechanism for maintaining and dispensing dry colorant onto a primary ground wood material. Further, providing and arranging a liquid dispensing mechanism adjacent an opening of a receptacle of a communition apparatus and dispensing liquid to wet the coated primary ground wood material. Lastly, grinding the wetted primary ground wood material with the comminution apparatus into a finish ground material of a lesser size than the primary ground wood material.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of coating the surface of an inorganic powder comprising; (a) providing an alcohol solution of an alcohol-soluble metal salt and an alcohol solution of an amine compound; and (b) mixing and stirring the two alcohol solutions with an inorganic powder and water, thereby coating the surface of the inorganic powder with a metal hydroxide produced from the alcohol-soluble metal salt. The inorganic powders coated with metal oxide manufactured according to the present invention exist independently without substantial agglomeration, and the metal oxide coating is deposited substantially only on the surface of the inorganic powder with uniform thickness without substantial clustering among the inorganic powders. Consequently, when a Ni electrode layer is prepared using the titanium oxide coated Ni powders manufactured according to the present invention, not only quality but also yield of MLCC can be improved.
