This invention provides resin formulations which may be used for 3D printing and pyrolyzing to produce a ceramic matrix composite. The resin formulations contain a solid-phase filler, to provide high thermal stability and mechanical strength (e.g., fracture toughness) in the final ceramic material. The invention provides direct, free-form 3D printing of a preceramic polymer loaded with a solid-phase filler, followed by converting the preceramic polymer to a 3D-printed ceramic matrix composite with potentially complex 3D shapes or in the form of large parts. Other variations provide active solid-phase functional additives as solid-phase fillers, to perform or enhance at least one chemical, physical, mechanical, or electrical function within the ceramic structure as it is being formed as well as in the final structure. Solid-phase functional additives actively improve the final ceramic structure through one or more changes actively induced by the additives during pyrolysis or other thermal treatment.

The present invention provides a paper ball-like graphene microsphere, a composite material thereof, and a preparation method therefor. Such paper ball-like graphene microspheres are obtained by chemically reducing graphene oxide microspheres to slowly remove oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the graphene oxide to avoid the volume expansion caused by rapid removal of the groups, thereby maintaining a tight bond between graphene sheets without separation; and removing the remaining small number of oxygen-containing functional groups and repairing defect structures in the graphene oxide sheets by means of high temperature treatment, such that the graphene structure becomes perfect at an ultrahigh temperature (2500 to 3000 C.) thereby further improving the bonding ability between the graphene sheets in the microspheres and achieving a dense structure.

The present invention concerns a material, based on fibrillar, elongated, or disk-like colloidal particles, that has a high scattering efficiency, a method that is suitable for preparing such a material, and the use of such a material. The material can be used as, or as a part of, a pigment, paint or protective coating in various industries, but due to its high scattering, and due to the fact that the material appears white even as a thin membrane, it is an interesting option also in the paper and pulp, cosmetic and medical industries.

The present invention relates to an antireflection film which includes a hard coating layer and a low refractive index layer formed on the hard coating layer, wherein the sum of the volume of the convex portion of the peak equal to or higher than the average line is less than 0.03 mm.sup.3 in the surface area of 1.47 mm.sup.2, and the sum of the volume of the concave portion of the valley equal to or lower than the average line is less than 0.03 mm.sup.3 in the surface area of 1.47 mm.sup.2, and a display device comprising the antireflection film.

The present invention relates to a coating composition for a flexible plastic film, and more specifically to a coating composition for producing a flexible plastic film having excellent flexibility while exhibiting high hardness.
