Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a hydrophobic coating film on the surface of a nozzle plate of an ink-jet head. SOLUTION: The method for forming a hydrophobic coating film includes a step for preparing the nozzle plate 130 provided with a plurality of nozzles 131 and a stamp 200, a step for applying a hydrophobic material 170 on the surface of the prepared stamp, a step for bonding the hydrophobic material on the surface of the nozzle plate while heating the nozzle plate by bringing the hydrophobic material applied on the surface of the stamp into contact with the surface of the nozzle plate, and a step for separating the stamp from the nozzle plate. By this, parts of the hydrophobic material 170 bonded to the surface of the nozzle plate 130 are left so as to form the hydrophobic coating films 170' and parts corresponding to a plurality of the nozzles 131 are separated from the nozzle plate 130 together with the stamp 200.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a leather product obtained by enabling application of thermal sublimation transfer printing technique to natural leather, thereby furnished with beautiful and durable prints without impairing touch feeling inherent in leather. SOLUTION: A method for producing the sublimation transfer print-coated leather comprises the following process: The surface of leather on which one or more undercoating layers containing a resin for general leather coating, topcoating layer(s) containing a dyeable resin and a crosslinking agent and, as desired, releasable layer(s) comprising a releasable resin are formed successively is transferred with a sublimable dye-containing image, or alternatively, transferred with an image by thermal sublimation transfer technique.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a process of applying a temporary protective coating to a substrate comprising the steps of: a) providing a laminate comprising i) a flexible carrier substrate and ii) a coating layer prepared by applying by spreading, spraying or flow coating an aqueous coating composition comprising at least one water based film- forming polymer to the flexible carrier substrate, and drying the applied coating composition, and b) transferring the coating from the flexible carrier substrate to a second substrate to provide the second substrate with a temporary protective coating, and wherein the transferred coating is contiguous with the second substrate.
Abstract:
Method for applying a fire-resistant coating to a substrate, comprising of applying a layer of liquid fire-resistant coating to a carrier, creating a layer of flexible solid coating as a result of at least partial curing of the layer of liquid coating, removing the layer of flexible solid coating from the carrier; and applying the flexible solid coating layer to the substrate.
Abstract:
A method of making an endovascular prosthesis comprises the steps of applying a first layer of polymer to a portion of a deformable matrix, contacting a stent with the polymer to deform the matrix, applying a second layer of polymer over at least a portion of the stent and first layer, solidifying the layers of polymer to form the endovascular prosthesis, and removing the matrix.
