The present disclosure relates to a stacked structure for a display cover window having improved scratch resistance using a difference in elastic modulus, and a method of manufacturing the same. The stacked structure for a display cover window includes a base member having an elastic modulus of 2.5 GPa to 5.5 GPa; a hard coating member disposed on the base member and having an elastic modulus of 0.546 times to 2.4 times the elastic modulus of the base member; and a damping member disposed beneath the base member and having an elastic modulus of 0.0000018 to 0.02 times the elastic modulus of the base member. The stacked structure for a display cover window has an effect of remarkably improving scratch resistance by reducing a normal force, which is a major component of frictional force that is a main cause of scratching.

A composition with latent adhesion, fuel cell stack with a bipolar plate assembly with latent adhesion and a method of assembling a fuel cell stack with a seal that has latent adhesion such that reactant or coolant leakage through the seal is reduced. Bipolar plates within the stack include reactant channels and coolant channels that are fluidly coupled to inlet and outlet flowpaths, all of which are formed within a coolant-engaging or reactant-engaging surface of the plate. One or more thin or low aspect-ratio seals are formed on a metal bead that is integrally-formed on a surface of the plate and is used to help reduce leakage by maintaining fluid isolation of the reactants and coolant as they flow through their respective channels and flowpaths that are defined between adjacently-placed plates. By proper formulation of the precursor materials that make up the seal, the activation of the adhesive bond formed between the seal and an adjacent surface within the fuel cell can be delayed to allow ample time to aligned and compressively join the cell assemblies in a stack housing. This in turn improves the ability of the seal and its adjacent surface to avoid seal damage and concomitant reactant or coolant leakage.

A suspended-particle device with improved adhesion between the active and conductive layers is disclosed. The conductive layers are coated with an adhesion promoter that comprises at least one organosilane that covalently bonds to the surface of the conductive layer and comprises a cross-linkable moiety such as an acrylate. The active layer comprises a suspension of active particles in a polymer matrix that comprises a polymer having pendant cross-linkable moieties such as acrylates. Upon curing (e.g. by irradiation by ultraviolet light), the polymer matrix of the active layer cross-links with the cross-linkable moieties of the adhesion promoter, thereby binding the active and conductive layers.
