    Abstract: Examples include a cylinder for aligning magnetic or magnetizable particles contained in a coating agent on a substrate. In the region of the outer circumference of the cylinder, magnetic elements are arranged in n rows extending axially and in m columns extending circumferentially. At least two magnetic elements are provided one behind the other in the same column, mounted as a group at a shared carrier element and can be varied with respect to their axial position at the cylinder, collectively and independently of the magnetic elements of an adjoining column. The at least two magnetic elements of the same column are arranged at respective magnetic element carriers that can be positioned at the shared carrier element independently of one another in the circumferential direction and/or can be detached from the carrier element and/or are adjustable in the axial direction within an adjustment range.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an elongated medical appliance including a substrate, a base layer, and a top layer, in which the top layer is composed of a polymer material with a copolymer including a polymer unit having a hydrophilic structure and crosslinked by any of the following formulas (1) to (3): *—CH(OH)—CH(R1)—O—C(═O)—NH—R2—NH—C(═O)—OCH(R1)—CH(OH)—*  (1) *—CH(OH)—CH(R1)—O—C(═O)—NH—R2—NH—C(═O)—OCH(CH(R1)—OH)—*  (2) *—CH(CH(R1)—OH)—O—C(═O)—NH—R2—NH—C(═O)—OCH(CH(R1)—OH)—*  (3) and in which the base layer is composed of an isocyanate compound, and the isocyanate compound binds to the structures represented by formulas (1) to (3). This elongated medical appliance is excellent in lubricity and adhesiveness between the substrate and a coating film.

    Abstract: The substrate processing system is provided with a first substrate holding unit which includes a first base that faces from below a substrate having a protected target surface and a cleaning target surface on the opposite side of the protected target surface and holds the substrate in a first posture in which the protected target surface is facing upward, a protective film coating nozzle which coats a protective film at least at a peripheral edge portion of the protected target surface of the substrate that is held by the first substrate holding unit, a first turning unit which turns around the substrate while in contact with a peripheral edge portion of the substrate so that the posture of the substrate can be changed from the first posture to a second posture in which the protected target surface is facing downward, a second substrate holding unit which includes a second base that faces the substrate from below and holds the substrate in the second posture, and a cleaning unit which cleans the cleaning target surface of the substrate that is held by the second substrate holding unit.

    Abstract: The presently disclosed methods provide for preparing a stable hydrophobic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) coating, that includes preparing a SAM solution by combining a SAM compound with an initial solvent and an additional solvent and mixing, in a sealed container, the SAM solution at a first fixed temperature at a constant rotational speed for a first fixed time interval. The SAM coating is then prepared by treating a substrate to achieve pristine state, and heating the substrate at a second fixed temperature for a second fixed time interval. Then within a sealed container, immersing the substrate in the SAM solution for a third fixed time interval. Following the completion of the third fixed time interval, the substrate is removed from the sealed container and treated with the initial solvent and the additional solvent to remove excess SAM material, and heated at a third fixed temperature.
