A method of, and system for, providing an amorphous fluorinated polymer conformal coating to an RF circuit board is described. A coating solution including the amorphous fluorinated polymer dissolved in a fluorinated solvent is provided. The coating solution is applied to the RF circuit board via a mechanically controlled fluid spray application device to produce a coated board. A predetermined time period is waited for substantial evaporation of the fluorinated solvent from the coated board, thus leaving behind a conformal coating of the amorphous fluorinated polymer on a board surface area.

Embodiments relate to surface treating a substrate, spraying precursor onto the substrate using supercritical carrier fluid, and post-treating the substrate sprayed with the precursor to form a layer with nanometer thickness of material on the substrate. A spraying assembly for spraying the precursor includes one or more spraying modules and one or more radical injectors at one or more sides of the spraying module. A differential spread mechanism is provided between the spraying module and the radical injectors to inject spread gas that isolates the sprayed precursor and radicals generated by the radical injectors. As relative movement between the substrate and the spraying assembly is made, portions of the substrate is exposed to first radicals, sprayed with precursors either one of the spraying modules or both spraying modules using supercritical carrier fluid, and then exposed to second radicals again.

There is provided an apparatus for forming a magnetic pigment pattern on an article. The apparatus includes: a magnetic pattern mold having nonmagnetic pattern grooves engraved in a predetermined pattern and providing predetermined magnetic field lines on a pattern-forming object surface of an article by generating magnetism in areas outside the nonmagnetic pattern grooves; and a spray unit spraying an adhesive resin composite containing a ferromagnetic pigment onto the pattern-forming object surface of the article. A predetermined magnetic pigment pattern is formed while the magnetic pigment of the adhesive resin composite that is applied to the pattern-forming object surface of the article is rearranged along magnetic field lines generated by the magnetic pattern mold.

A method for producing a knitted fabric part which is knitted from at least one thread and which in one or a plurality of regions on the knitted fabric external side and/or the knitted fabric internal side is equipped with a coating, wherein, for configuring the coating, a material comprising free-flowing particles is applied in the region to the knitted fabric, said material subsequently being melted or fused by heating, whereupon the material is cooled while forming the coating.

A method of manufacturing a honeycomb structure, the method including: a circumferential coat layer forming process of applying a circumferential coating material on a circumferential surface of a ceramic honeycomb structure to form a circumferential coat layer, the circumferential coat layer forming process including: a rotating process of matching an axial direction of the honeycomb structure; and an applying process of discharging the circumferential coating material to apply the circumferential coating material on the circumferential surface of the honeycomb structure that rotates, wherein in the applying process, a discharge speed of the circumferential coating material, calculated by Equation (1), discharged from the discharge nozzle is 50 to 120 mm/s, and

Discharge speed V [mm/s]=Supplied amount q [g/s] of circumferential coating material(Density [g/mm.sup.3] of circumferential coating materialArea S [mm.sup.2] of discharge opening)(1).

A liquid-repellent surface is provided where the repellency arises solely from the re-entrant surface structure. The liquid repellent surface is a porous membrane that contains hexagonally packed microcavities, each of which has a narrow opening located on its top. The surface is mechanically robust because the microstructures are interconnected in a continuous manner. A method of preparing the liquid repellent surface is also provided, which involves producing a uniform emulsion containing monodisperse micro-droplets, depositing the emulsion onto a substrate, and solidifying the emulsion-deposit by evaporating the solvent in the continuous phase fluid.

A component (10) for a motor vehicle has a main body (12) produced from a magnesium material. The main body (12) has a visible surface (14) with an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 1 to 40 m. A clear lacquer coating (40) is disposed on the visible surface (14) of the main body (12) and has a layer thickness of at most 60 m. The clear lacquer coating (40) is applied so that the surface structure (15) of the main body (12) that is disposed below the clear lacquer coating (40) is distinguishable in a visible and haptic manner.
