The present invention provides a coating and associated methods for removing fats, oils and cooking effluent from a range exhaust system. The coating may comprise an emulsion or dispersion of a polyvinyl acetate polymer or copolymer, an acrylic polymer or copolymer, a polyepoxy ester, or a styrene acrylic copolymer, or a polymer or copolymer of polyurethane, polyvinylbutyral, or copolymer blends of any of the above. Optionally, the coating also contains an oil soluble biocide which migrates into fats, oils and cooking effluent deposited in use on the surface of said peelable coating. The coating may be applied in the form of an emulsion, dispersion or solution and is preferably formulated for dispensation as an aerosol from a pressure pack container and packaged within a pressure pack container.

Described herein are optically transparent and semipermeable windows composed of at least one layer of an amorphous crosslinked fluorinated copolymer. Also disclosed are a process and apparatus for three-dimensional continuous liquid interface production (CLIP) printing using the windows described herein. The amorphous crosslinked fluorinated copolymers have improved mechanical properties, thereby reducing the susceptibility of the window to brittle failures such as cracking and crack propagation. The gas permeable windows have superior durability and reliability compared with other available structures and compositions.

A negative pattern is formed by applying a resist composition onto a substrate, exposing the resist film, and developing the exposed resist film in an organic solvent developer. The process further involves coating the negative pattern with a shrink agent solution of a first polymer comprising recurring units capable of forming carboxyl, hydroxyl or lactone ring and a second polymer comprising recurring units capable of forming amino and fluorinated recurring units in an ester and/or ketone solvent, baking the coating, and removing the excessive shrink agent for thereby shrinking the size of spaces in the pattern.

A method for enabling D2T2 printing onto non-D2T2 printable substrates uses a diffusible primer material provided on a dye-sheet or ribbon. The primer comprises a polymer, a release agent and a plasticizer. The release agent and the plasticizer are diffused into the substrate, while the polymer remains on the dye-sheet or ribbon. Printing of the primer onto the PC substrate is controlled via a computer image program corresponding to a colored image. This computer image program also controls the printing of the colored image at the primed locations. Accordingly, image-wise treatment of a plastic material via the primer selectively renders the PC substrate surface D2T2 printable at the point of personalization, providing for a 100% PC full card body having the colored image.
