Abstract:
An electronic device may have housing structures, electrical components, and other electronic device structures. Adhesive may be used to join electronic device structures. Adhesive may be dispensed as liquid adhesive and cured to form adhesive joints. Adhesive joints may be debonded. Chain reactions may be initiated by applying a localized initiator such as a chemical or localized energy to the adhesive. Once initiated, the chain reaction may spread throughout the adhesive to cure the adhesive, to globally change adhesive viscosity, or to weaken the adhesive to facilitate debonding. Local changes to adhesive may also be made such as local increases and decreases to adhesive viscosity. Chain reaction curing may be used to cure adhesive or debond adhesive that is hidden from view within gaps in the electronic device structures. Viscosity changes may be used to control where adhesive flows.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to marine geophysical surveying. More particularly, embodiments relate to a streamer-preparation apparatus that cleans a geophysical cable to prepare it for application of an antifouling paint. An embodiment discloses a method comprising: moving a streamer into position for cleaning; directing a cleaning fluid onto the streamer as the streamer is being moved; and directing a gaseous fluid onto the streamer as the streamer is being moved. An embodiment discloses: applying an antifouling paint to the streamer with the streamer-preparation apparatus; and applying a curing agent to the streamer with the streamer-preparation apparatus.
Abstract:
Methods for making and using phenol/formaldehyde/furfural-based resins and furfural alcohol-based resins and are provided. The method for making a phenol/formaldehyde/furfural-based resin can include combining a phenol/formaldehyde-based resin with furfural to produce a phenol/formaldehyde/furfural-based resin. The phenol/formaldehyde/furfural-based resin can have a viscosity of about 1 cP to about 1,000 cP at a temperature of about 25° C.

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a coating film that is capable of forming a coating film having excellent smoothness, distinctness of image and luster using an aqueous coating composition. The present invention provides a method for forming a coating film comprising: Step (1): forming an uncured coating film by applying to a substrate an aqueous coating composition that contains a copolymer of monomer components comprising one or more N-substituted (meth)acrylamide compounds, the copolymer being a graft copolymer comprising (A) a main chain having a lower critical solution temperature T1 in water within the range of 30 to 95° C., and (B) at least one hydrophobic side chain; Step (2): preheating the uncured coating film formed in Step (1) under heating conditions such that a preheating temperature T2 falls within the range of 60 to 100° C., and the preheating temperature T2 and the lower critical solution temperature T1 have a relationship represented by the formula T2−T1=−30 to 30° C.; and Step (3): curing the uncured coating film formed in Step (2) by heating.
