A liquid droplet forming apparatus includes an ejection head configured to eject liquid droplets of liquid, in which the ejection head includes a tubular liquid holder that holds the liquid, and a vibration unit that covers one end side of the liquid holder, forms a liquid chamber holding the liquid together with the liquid holder, and ejects the liquid droplets on the basis of an electric signal to be applied, the vibration unit includes a vibration element that vibrates on the basis of the electric signal, a membrane that includes an outlet ejecting the liquid droplets, and a resonator that vibrates on the basis of the vibration of the vibration element and transmits the vibration of the vibration element to the membrane by vibrating itself, and the resonator is a plate that overlaps with the membrane as viewed in a plan view and is in contact with the membrane.

A method for forming a multilayer film, including: a step (1) of applying an aqueous two-pack first colored coating material on an automobile outer panel to form an uncured first colored coating film; a step (2) of applying an aqueous one-pack white color coating material on the uncured first colored coating film to form an uncured white coating film; a step (3) of setting the uncured white coating film for 4 minutes or more such that a resultant coating film has a solid content of 50% by mass or more; a step (4) of applying an aqueous one-pack interference color coating material on the uncured white coating film having the solid content of 50% by mass or more to form an uncured interference color coating film; a step (5) of applying a solvent-based two-pack clear coating material on the uncured interference color coating film to form an uncured clear coating film; and a step (6) of heating the coating films formed in the steps (1) to (5) at a temperature of 75 C. or more and to 100 C. or less to simultaneously cure the coating films.

The present application discloses a coated microneedle with a multilayer structure, including a base, a needle tip on the base, and a functional coating. The functional coating includes a content including a water-soluble polymer material and an active ingredient, and a sustained-release layer wrapping the content. The sustained-release layer covers the needle tip. The coated microneedle can prevent a drug-containing matrix from being quickly dissolved and dispersed, prevent the active ingredient from exuding along with tissues at an action site, and increase the drug intake. The present application further discloses a method for preparing the coated microneedle and a microneedle patch including the coated microneedle.
