A method is provided for treating a lignocellulosic substrate such as medium density fiberboard (MDF). The method includes implanting a conductive material into the lignocellulosic substrate, pre-heating the implanted lignocellulosic substrate, coating the pre-heated implanted lignocellulosic substrate with a powder solution, and curing the powder coated substrate.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for coating at least a portion of a medical device (e.g., a stent structure) include providing a plurality of coating particles (e.g., monodisperse coating particles) in a defined volume. For example, the particles may be provided using one or more nozzle structures, wherein each nozzle structure includes at least one opening terminating at a dispensing end. The plurality of coating particles may be provided in the defined volume by dispensing a plurality of microdroplets having an electrical charge associated therewith from the dispensing ends of the one or more nozzle structures through use of a nonuniform electrical field between the dispensing ends and the medical device. Electrical charge is concentrated on the particle as the microdroplet evaporates. With a plurality of coating particles provided in the defined volume, such particles can be moved towards at least one surface of the medical device to form a coating thereon (e.g., using an electric field and/or a thermophoretic effect).
Abstract:
A continuous web having a first surface and a second surface is coated with a coating powder by allowing the web to move between a first and a second electrode, which are in different potentials and are located on the opposite sides of the web, applying the coating powder on the surface of the web by utilizing the difference in the electric potential, and finishing the coated surface of the web. Both surfaces of the web are coated essentially simultaneously by using oppositely charged electrodes.

The present invention relates to methods for conditioning a surface before application of powder coating, methods for improving powder coating transfer to a surface, methods for reducing defects on powder painted surfaces, methods for providing homogenous surface charge on a surface, methods for increasing adhesion of powder paint to a surface, and surface conditioners for use in such methods.
Abstract:
A method for preliminary treatment of particles of a powder in a dry surface treatment process before applying the powder particles on a surface of a substrate by utilizing an electric field created by electrodes. The Electrodes are located at opposite sides of the substrate in such a way that at least one first electrode is located at the side of the substrate to be coated, and at least one second electrode is located at the opposites side of the substrate. The particles of the powder are pre-charged before bringing them into the electric field.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for electrostatically attaching a polymeric polymer powder adhesive to a non-metallic substrate. The invention also relates to the substrate having deposited thereon by electrostatic means a polymer powder adhesive, which can be activated for adhesion or cohesion. The method is especially useful for depositing powdered adhesive onto paper or plastic, which can be activated by heat, water, radiation, or other means. The activated adhesive allows the non-metallic substrate to then adhere to another substrate, or to itself.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of improving paint adhesion thermoplastic olefin parts. The method comprises attaching a conductive layer to a thermoplastic olefin substrate to form a coated thermoplastic substrate. After attachment of the conductive layer paint is applied to the side of the coated thermoplastic olefin substrate on which a surface of the conductive layer is exposed. In another embodiment of the present invention, a coated thermoplastic olefin substrate with improved paint adhesion is provided.
