Abstract:
PROCESS FOR THE SPRAY COATING OF PLASTIC ARTICLES WHEREIN THE ARTICLES ARE SURFACE SULFONATED BEFORE THEY ARE ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY COATED. THE ARTICLES CAN BE NEUTRALIZED AFTER SULFONATION IF DESIRED. A DEGREE OF SULFONATION OF AT LEAST ABOUT 0.001 MILLIGRAM SULFUR TRIOXIDE OR EQUIVALENTS THEREOF PER SQUARE CENTIMETER OF PLASTIC SURFACE IS REQUIRED TO GIVE THE DESIRED UNIFORM COATING AND GOOD ADHESION. THE SPRAYED COATINGS CAN BE LIQUID PAINTS OR LACQUERS, POWDERED PLASTICS AND LIQUID COATINGS CONTAINING FILAMENTARY REINFORCING AGENTS WHICH ARE NORMALLY CURED BY DRY ING, HEATING AND DRYING, OR HEATING.

Abstract:
The present invention includes a robotic system for the enhanced automation, manipulation, and control of electroprocessing in two or three dimensions. In one embodiment, the system includes a sealed chamber devoid of any electrical or conductive components which would interfere with the electrical field and eventual material fabrication, while still allowing for two-dimensional and three-dimensional robot motion. In certain embodiments, the system of the invention produces materials or scaffolds with complex shapes, including materials with ridges, valleys, curves, and the like, which are difficult or impossible to construct using traditional systems.

Abstract:
An electrostatic painting method includes steps of: attaching a grounded clip to an insulating workpiece; spraying water-based paint to the workpiece while moving a paint gun from a position where the painting has started in a predetermined direction to form a first band-like painting film; spraying the water-based paint to the workpiece while moving the paint gun to thereby form a second band-like painting film, in which the second band-like painting film is formed in parallel to the first painting film, and a part of the second band-like painting film overlaps the first painting film. An amount of overlap between the first and second painting films is within a range previously determined based on an influence on the water-based paint sprayed when the second painting film is formed that causes the water-based paint sprayed to be attracted to the grounded first painting film.
Abstract:
A method of surface modification for analyzing of phosphorylated peptides. The surface of solid substrates is modified for efficient phosphorylated peptide preconcentration from complex peptide mixtures prior to detection based on desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. The method of surface functionalization is introduced by ambient ion landing. The approach is based on electronebulization, differently said electrospray, of solutions of organometallic compounds related to elements of 4B class of periodic table of elements, especially to zirconium, hafnium and titanium. The generated charged electrospray is dried on the fly by passing the heated compartment and focused to a surface for modification forming a stable oxide layer there. The surface modified this way has been used for phosphopeptide enrichment from peptide mixtures prior to desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.
Abstract:
A method for providing a metallic coat covering a surface is disclosed, which comprises: (i) applying an electrically conductive two component binder on said surface; (ii) electrostatic spraying a metal powder on the binder applied in step (i); wherein the metal powder comprises metal particles with an average diameter less than 80 micron.
Abstract:
In a first coating step, low electrical conductivity is imparted to a coating surface 21 of a non-electrically conductive coating object 20 and a first paint film is formed by applying a charged first paint to the coating surface 21 with free ions being suppressed. In a second coating step, a second paint film is formed by applying a negatively-charged second paint to a surface of the first paint film with free ions being suppressed, before the first paint film dries.
