Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing three-dimensional macroscopic patterns in liquid-crystalline coatings, patterned layers containing liquid-crystalline materials and produced by said method, and the use thereof in decorative and security products. In the method, the liquid-crystalline coating in a non-solidified state is brought into contact with a printing form for a relief printing method, with the result that depressions which are not deeper than 10 μm arise in the coating.
Abstract:
Apparatus for atomic layer deposition on a surface of a sheeted substrate, comprising: an injector head comprising a deposition space provided with a precursor supply and a precursor drain; said supply and drain arranged for providing a precursor gas flow from the precursor supply via the deposition space to the precursor drain; the deposition space in use being bounded by the injector head and the substrate surface; a gas bearing comprising a bearing gas injector, arranged for injecting a bearing gas between the injector head and the substrate surface, the bearing gas thus forming a gas-bearing; a conveying system providing relative movement of the substrate and the injector head along a plane of the substrate to form a conveying plane along which the substrate is conveyed. A support part arranged opposite the injector head, the support part constructed to provide a gas bearing pressure arrangement that balances the injector head gas-bearing in the conveying plane, so that the substrate is held supportless by said gas bearing pressure arrangement in between the injector head and the support part.
Abstract:
A thickness adjustment device for thin-film coating is revealed. The thickness adjustment device for thin-film coating includes a coating device, a support set, and a thickness adjustment unit. The coating device consists of a work piece conveyor that delivers a work piece, and a material supply unit that carries a coating material onto a surface of the work piece to form a film. The support set is connected to the coating device while the thickness adjustment unit is inserted through and mounted on the support set. The thickness adjustment unit includes a scrape part disposed correspondingly to the work piece and used for applying coating material to form the film. The thickness of the film is adjusted according to a controlling force or torque of the thickness adjustment unit that presses downward. Thus the film is coated on the work piece evenly and the film coating quality is increased.
Abstract:
A tinted coating for a hard-surfaced floor, such as a hardwood floor, includes a base component and at least one colorant. The base component comprises an acrylic polymer and water, and the colorant is selected from the group consisting of a tint, a dye, and a pigment. The tinted coating is either a tinted tiecoat or a tinted spray buff. The tinted coating is used to improve the appearance of the hard-surfaced floor.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a holding table incorporating a heater is provided, for example, in a treatment container of a planarization unit. A pressing plate having a lower surface formed flat is disposed above the holding table. The pressing plate is movable in the vertical direction and can lower to the holding table to press a resist film on the substrate from above. The pressing plate intermittently presses the upper surface of the resist film to planarize the upper surface while the heater is heating the substrate on the holding table at a predetermined temperature to dry the resist film. According to the present invention, a coating film applied on the substrate can be sufficiently planarized and dried.
Abstract:
An electrode mixture paste is applied on both sides of a strip of core material made of porous metal sheet that is running along its lengthwise direction. The paste-coated core material is pressed with press rollers alternately from opposite sides once or more, after which the paste-coated core material is passed through the gap between a pair of scraper tools to adjust the coating thickness of the paste, while the position of the core material is restricted with comb-shaped projections, so that, even though the projections are distanced from each other sufficiently to allow weld points of the core material to pass through, the coating thickness is precisely regulated.
Abstract:
The first aspect of the instant claimed invention is a method of formulating radiation curable Supercoatings for application to an optical fiber used in a telecommunications network. A Multi-layer Film Drawdown Method useful in the Method of formulating radiation curable Supercoatings is also described and claimed. Single mode Optical fibers coated with specific radiation curable Supercoatings are also described and claimed.
Abstract:
Fingerprint-erasing cured films for rendering fingerprint depositions on various surfaces quickly less visible or invisible; a manufacturing method therefor; a display or touch panel using the same; and electronic devices using these are provided. A liquid coating film including a solvent and a polymerizable resin composition curable by an activating energy beam is formed. In a state of the solvent being included within the film, the film is cured to form a cured film containing the solvent, preferably using a release material whose surface has undergone matte processing; and the solvent is evaporated in a subsequent drying step, whereby a cured film with a multitude of micropores on the surface is formed. Fingerprint soiling is rendered not readily visible or invisible. By using the cured film, there are obtained displays, touch panels, and electronic devices having fingerprint-erasability. To improve fingerprint-erasability, adding a water-absorbent compound to the film composition is preferable.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods, systems, devices, and kits for coating portions of a medical device or other work piece as well as to medical devices that have themselves been coated in accord with the invention. Under methods of the invention, portions of a medical device may be selectively coated. The method may include providing a medical device, an applicator, and a spreader. A layer of coating having a thickness may then be applied to a target surface of the medical device with the applicator. When the coating is applied, the spreader can be positioned in contact with the coating to reduce the coating thickness by spreading the coating over a larger surface area of the target surface.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for coating are disclosed. The coating apparatus of the present invention, which include: a transporting part configured to transport a substrate; a coating part configured to coat a coating material on the substrate; and a squeegee installed to remove an excessive coating material after the substrate passes through the coating part and being moveable along a transporting path of the substrate, can carry out the coating operation and the squeegeeing operation together, thereby reducing the lead time of the coating operation of the substrate and increasing the productivity. By integrating the conventional coating device and squeegeeing device, the space required for installation can be saved, and the quality of coating can be improved because conditions for coating can be adjusted.
