Abstract:
A method of making a coated article is provided. The method includes electrostatically depositing powder onto a metallic article to be coated using an electrostatic spray gun while the metallic article is being rotated around its axis such that the powder is deposited around the entire circumference of the metallic article at least in a radially outward peripheral region having projections and depressions and that the powder deposited on top of the projections is larger in thickness than the powder deposited in other parts of the metallic article. Melting of the powder is performed by induction heating the metallic article to make a coating film adhere to the metallic article.
Abstract:
In regard to a nozzle 20, used for electrostatic spraying of a nanomaterial dispersion liquid 13, in which a nanomaterial is dispersed in a solvent, the nozzle 20 includes: a nozzle body 21, having a tubular structure capable of storing the nanomaterial dispersion liquid 13 in an interior thereof and having a dispersion liquid spray outlet 22 disposed at a tip thereof; and a rod-like core structure 24, disposed in an interior of the nozzle body 21. The core structure 24 extends in a predetermined range, including the spray outlet 22, along a longitudinal direction of the nozzle body 21 in a state of contacting an inner wall of the nozzle body 21. By using such an electrostatic spray nozzle 20, immobilization on a sample can be performed favorably while suppressing aggregation of the nanomaterial.
Abstract:
In an immobilization process of electrostatically spraying a nanomaterial dispersion liquid 13 from an electrostatic spray nozzle 20 and immobilizing a nanomaterial on a sample 10, a voltage is applied between the dispersion liquid 13 and the sample 10 to electrostatically spray the dispersion liquid 13 onto the sample 10 from a spray outlet 22 of the nozzle 20 under a condition where one or zero particles of the nanomaterial 18 are contained in each individual droplet 16 sprayed and electrostatically deposit the nanomaterial 18 onto a surface of the sample 10 after drying a solvent 17, contained in each individual droplet 16, in an atmosphere to immobilize the nanomaterial 18 on the sample 10. Aggregation of the nanomaterial in each droplet is thereby prevented and the nanomaterial can be immobilized favorably on the sample.

In addition, methods for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces are also disclosed. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, in particular motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts or accessories.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for depositing a thin polymer film on a substrate for functionalizing the surface of said substrate, comprising a step which consists in electrohydrodynamic spraying of a polymerizable precursor towards the substrate so as to produce an electrostatic deposition of electrically charged droplets of said precursor and form the thin film on the surface by polymerizing the droplets. The method is characterized in that it further comprises a step for causing the excited species to interact with the droplets of the sprayed precursor, thereby promoting the polymerization reactions of said precursor. The invention also concerns a device for implementing the method, in particular for depositing a thin polymer film on a moving substrate-film.
