A dispenser apparatus for a curable liquid material is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a flexible bag defining a first compartment for accommodating a first component of a curable liquid material, and a second compartment for accommodating a second component of the curable liquid material and adapted to communicate with the first chamber to enable mixing of the first and second components to initiate curing of the curable liquid material. A first clamp temporarily prevents mixing of the first and second components, and an elongate nozzle communicates with the second compartment to dispense the mixed curable liquid material therefrom. A second clamp temporarily prevents passage of the curable liquid material from the second compartment to the nozzle.

Provided are apparatuses for the infusion of one or more additives into the surface of a linear substrate. The apparatuses include a processing barrel having an infusion chamber defined therein as well as a linear substrate inlet and a linear substrate outlet. The processing barrel also includes an infusion fluid inlet and an infusion solution outlet in fluid communication with the infusion chamber. The infusion chamber is dimensionally reconfigurable, optionally during an infusion process.

A method for manufacturing a transparent conductive film, including: 1) providing a conductive scraper including a slurry feeding mouth and a slurry discharging gap; 2) placing a transparent film including a prefabricated groove on a conductive moving table, moving the conductive moving table horizontally in relation to the conductive scraper, controlling the moving speed of the conductive moving table at between 0.1 and 1 m/min, and allowing the conductive slurry to flow out of the conductive scrapper via the slurry discharging gap; 3) applying a voltage between the conductive moving table and the conductive scraper, and driving the conductive slurry flowing out of the conductive scraper to fill the groove of the transparent film by an electrodynamic force produced by the voltage; and 4) curing the conductive slurry filled in the groove of the transparent film.

An apparatus and method for modifying an aspect of an exterior polymer material or polymer type material of a linear substrate with a fluid. The apparatus include a variable exposure gap within which the linear substrate is exposed to the fluid. The width of the exposure gap is varied with the speed of the linear substrate traversing the exposure gap to maintain a constant exposure time of the linear substrate with the modifying fluid.
