A method for effectively removing minute impurities of 1 μm or less in size that are present on a surface of an aluminum nitride single-crystal substrate without etching the surface includes scrubbing a surface of an aluminum nitride single-crystal substrate using a polymer compound material having lower hardness than an aluminum nitride single crystal, and an alkali aqueous solution having 0.01-1 mass % concentration of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, the alkali aqueous solution being absorbed in the polymer compound material.

Novel support material formulations, characterized as providing a cured support material with improved dissolution rate, while maintaining sufficient mechanical strength, are disclosed. The formulations comprise a water-miscible non-curable polymer, a first water-miscible, curable material and a second, water-miscible material that is selected capable of interfering with intermolecular interactions between polymeric chains formed upon exposing the first water-miscible material to curing energy. Methods of fabricating a three-dimensional object, and a three-dimensional object fabricated thereby are also disclosed.

The present invention is a method for removing a biofilm formed in a water system comprising, exposing the biofilm to a liquid having a hydroxyl radical generation ability, obtained by a predetermined measurement method, of 0.15 or more.

A detergent composition is a detergent composition for removing temporary adhesive containing a silicone compound that is present on a substrate. The detergent composition contains: (A) an organic solvent: 75 to 99 parts by mass; (B) water: 0 to 5 parts by mass; and (C) an ammonium salt: 1 to 20 parts by mass (where (A)+(B)+(C)=100 parts by mass). The organic solvent does not contain an organic solvent having a hydroxy group and contains, in 100 parts by mass of the organic solvent, 50 parts by mass or more of an organic solvent having a heteroatom. The ammonium salt contains at least one kind of a hydroxide ion, a fluoride ion, and a chloride ion.

Methods for refurbishing aerospace components by removing corrosion and depositing protective coatings are provided herein. In one or more embodiments, a method of refurbishing an aerospace component includes exposing the aerospace component containing corrosion to an aqueous cleaning solution. The aerospace component contains a nickel superalloy, an aluminide layer disposed on the nickel superalloy, and an aluminum oxide layer disposed on the aluminide layer. The method includes removing the corrosion from a portion of the aluminum oxide layer with the aqueous cleaning solution to reveal the aluminum oxide layer, then exposing the aluminum oxide layer to a post-rinse, and forming a protective coating on the aluminum oxide layer.
