A method of applying a coloured coating to a decorative element such as a gemstone. The method comprises: providing an ink mixture comprising an ink and an organic carrier, the carrier comprising a polymerisable organic material; arranging the ink mixture and the decorative element in a plasma; and allowing the ink mixture to polymerise on a surface of the decorative element to form a polymerised colour coating. The polymerisable organic material may comprise a polymerisable siloxane or a polymerisable oxysilane.

The present invention relates to a process for producing an antimicrobial coating on a glass substrate, an antimicrobial coated glass substrate prepared by the process and use thereof, the process comprising the steps of: i) providing a glass substrate having a first surface and a second surface; ii) providing a silicon containing solution and a particle containing solution; iii) mixing together the silicon containing solution and the particle containing solution to form a silica coating composition; iv) contacting at least said first surface of the substrate with the silica coating composition to deposit a layer of silica on the glass substrate; and iv) curing the silica coating composition deposited on the glass substrate to form a silica matrix coating layer, wherein the particles are deposited on and/or within the silica matrix coating layer wherein the particles are deposited on and/or within the silica matrix coating layer in an amount of from 0.1 to 20% by weight.

A method of fabricating a transparent conductor is provided. The method includes forming a nanowire dispersion layer on a substrate, forming a nanowire network layer on the substrate by drying the nanowire dispersion layer, and forming a matrix material layer on the nanowire network layer.

There is provided a resin composition containing a resin (A), a light scattering agent (B), a solvent (C), and a leveling agent (H), in which the content ratio of the solvent (C) is 40% by mass or more and less than 74% by mass based on the total amount of the resin composition, and the content ratio of the leveling agent (H) is 0.01% by mass or more and 1% by mass or less based on the total amount of the resin composition.

A process for obtaining a material including a substrate coated on one of its sides with a coating including a functional layer, includes depositing the functional layer on the substrate, then depositing an absorbent layer on top of the functional layer, then performing a heat treatment by radiation, the radiation having at least one treatment wavelength between 200 and 2500 nm, the absorbent layer being in contact with air during the heat treatment, wherein the ab sorb ent layer ab sorbs at least 80% of the radiation used during the heat treatment and transmits less than 10% thereof.

A scenario-adaptable color-changing ink and a corresponding solar glass product are provided. The ink includes 7-30 parts by weight of photopolymer, 8-20 parts by weight of photoactive monomer, 1-5 parts by weight of photosensitizer, 30-55 parts by weight of weather-resistant resin, 1-10 parts by weight of curing agent, and 1-15 parts by weight of pearlescent pigment. The pearlescent pigment is at least one interference pearlescent pigments with weather-resistance, which has no color. Each sheet of the pearlescent pigment can be considered as a miniature prism which can break the white composite light into colorful monochromatic light, thus allow the coating of the printing ink to present a beautiful pearl luster and metallic luster. The pattern color which is visible by human is a result of overlaps and interferes of lights that the incident light is multiply reflected and refracted by the sheets of transparent pearlescent pigment.

The present invention relates to an article, especially a cooktop or a furniture element, comprising at least one substrate, such as a plate, made of glass-ceramic, said substrate being coated in at least one zone with a paint comprising at least: 1) a silicone resin comprising methyl and phenyl groups, 2) one or more lamellar inorganic fillers with a thickness of less than 2 μm and with lateral dimensions, for at least 80% by weight of said fillers, of between 10 μm and 65 μm, including at least: 2a) mica(s), and 2b) talc and/or one or more carbonates, 3) one or more black pigments.

The present invention also relates to a process for obtaining said article.
