Abstract:
A culinary item includes a hollow metal cup having a bottom and a sidewall extending up from the bottom, said cup having a concave interior face designed to accept food products and a convex exterior face, said interior face or said bottom being coated with a coating which consists successively, starting from the cup, in a hard sub layer and a sol-gel coating, wherein the hard sub layer takes the form of a discontinuous layer, in that the hard sublayer is porous and in that the hard sublayer is made up of one or more non-fluorinated polymer materials selected from polyetherary I ketones (PEAK) and mixtures thereof, possibly containing hard inorganic fillers, possibly conductive fillers and possibly less than 3 wt % of additives with respect to the weight of the hard sublayer.
Abstract:
[Problem] Upon application or film formation of a particulate matter to/on an object, the particulate matter moving with a speed is heated in a time duration from a suction port for particulate matter to the object, thereby softening or melting at least some of the particulate matter when the particulate matter is applied to the object. [Solution] A particulate matter is heated by means of induction heating or laser in a time duration from a suction port for particulate matter to an object, so that at least some of the particulate matter is softened or melted at a relatively low temperature on the object in synergy with the collision energy of the particulate matter with the object, thereby enabling the application or film formation of the particulate matter.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for hydrophilicizing a semi-finished element, in particular an electrode element, a bipolar element and/or a heat exchanger element, made of a plastic material or plastic composite material containing at least one thermoplastic and/or at least one thermosetting plastic. In order that the wettability of the component surface for aqueous media can be increased with smaller structure changes, with lower costs and with less effort, provision is made for the hydrophilicizing to be caused at least partially by applying carbon particles at least in sections on at least one surface of the semi-finished element and the carbon particles to be applied by rubbing, pressurised gas jet and/or by electrostatics at least in sections on the at least one surface in such manner that the carbon particles remain adhered to the surface.
Abstract:
The method for flame coating tubular elements provides for arranging a said tubular element (2) to be coated at a coating station, providing an applicator unit (3), operating in the coating station, in an inactive configuration, spaced from the tubular element (2), the applicator unit (3) carrying at least one thermoplastic powders flame applicator device (4) and being alternatively operable between the inactive configuration and an active configuration, approached radially to the tubular element (2). After having brought the applicator unit (3) towards the tubular element (2), the method provides for operating the same unit (3) in the active configuration, so as to peripherally engage the element (2) itself. The applicator device (4) is turned on, the thermoplastic powders are fed and the applicator device (4) is operated in motion around and/or along the tubular element (2) so as to flame coating it with a controlled flow of thermoplastic powders.
Abstract:
Application of a resin to a pool surface to provide a colored finish that is ultraviolet resistant. The resin may be a powder that can be melted at a fairly low temperature and applied to the pool surface. A first later of resin may be applied to an epoxy layer that is applied to the pool surface to provide better adhesion while the epoxy is still tacky (hot-flocking). The hot-flocking causes the resin and the epoxy to blend into a single layer. An additional layer of resin may be applied after the epoxy and the first layer of resin fully cured. After the second layer of resin has cured an additional layer may be applied to provide designs and/or markings. The designs/markings may be produced with tape and/or stencils and the next layer may be applied to the non-covered areas to provide the desired look.
Abstract:
A solvent composition comprising an organic solvent; dispersed nanoparticles; and a non-volatile electrolyte is provided. A method of forming a liquid composite composition is provided.
Abstract:
A vehicle interior panel includes a decorative skin and a polymer coating provided to increase material thickness at a desired portion of the decorative skin The polymer coating may be formed by a thermal spraying process in which a polymeric material is heated and deposited along an inner side of the decorative skin The decorative skin may be thermoformed from a uniformly thick sheet of thermoplastic material so that it includes a reduced thickness portion after forming. The polymeric material can be deposited along the reduced thickness portion to form the polymer coating, thereby restoring integrity or providing enhanced integrity to the decorative skin to aid subsequent material processes such as sewing or foam backfilling.

Abstract:
A method is disclosed for applying a vibration-damping surface to an article. The method includes providing a coating material comprising a ceramic, metallic or cermet material and a viscoelastic glass frit and plasma spraying the coating material onto an article. The coating material forms a plurality of ceramic, metallic or cermet microstructures having voids with the viscoelastic glass frit distributed to interact with the voids to provide vibration damping. Also disclosed are plasma spray coatings for damping vibrations that includes a ceramic-glass frit composite coating capable of reducing resonant vibrations in a substrate at temperatures between 700° F. to 1500° F. and said plasma spray coating as a coating on a substrate.
