A hair cleaning implement in the form of a laminate with surface properties specifically tailored to improve sebum removal from hair. The implement includes a nonwoven material joined to a film to form a laminate and a plurality of discrete protrusions extending from the surface of the nonwoven material. The protrusions are configured to provide the desired surface properties to the implement.

Methods of forming vias in substrates having at least one damage region extending from a first surface etching the at least one damage region of the substrate to form a via in the substrate, wherein the via extends through the thickness T of the substrate while the first surface of the substrate is masked. The mask is removed from the first surface of the substrate after etching and upon removal of the mask the first surface of the substrate has a surface roughness (Rq) of about less than 1.0 nm.

The present disclosure provides a laminate. The laminate includes a first film and a second film, wherein the first film is laminated to the second film. The first film includes a sealant layer containing (A) an ethylene-based polymer; and (B) a slip agent blend containing (i) a first polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 30,000 g/mol to less than 300,000 g/mol; and (ii) a second polydimethylsiloxane having a number average molecular weight (Mn) from 300,000 g/mol to 2,000,000 g/mol.

The present invention relates to a coating resin composition comprising a siloxane resin chemically bonded by compounds including an alkoxy silane containing epoxy or acrylic in the chemical structure; a dialkoxysilane of a silane D structure; or a trialkoxy silane of a silane T structure, and to a coating film comprising a cured article of the resin composition as a coating layer.

A coated smooth surface of a substrate repels liquids and viscoelastic materials and can have anti-staining and anti-biofouling properties. The smooth surface can be coated by applying a chemical layer on the surface and a lubricant. Such coated surfaces are useful for use in toilets, urinals, or other devices for the processing of liquids and viscoelastic materials such as solid or semi-solid metabolic waste of human digestive system. Such coated surfaces can also be applied to windows for buildings or vehicles such as automobiles or camera lenses to repel liquids (e.g., rain), ice, frost, insect residues, and birds' feces.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

A galvanically decorated component made of plastic has a galvanically applied chrome layer, wherein the chrome layer is processed with a laser in such a way that a mechanically applied brush structure or structure is reproduced on the surface. The component decorated in this way satisfies all requirements in accordance with the respective test specifications of the planned area of application. A method produces a plastic component having a structured surface. Components of this type made of plastic for the automotive industry are substantially decorative and operative elements.

[PROBLEM] To provide an antifouling film equipped with protective film having an antifouling layer with excellent antifouling characteristics even after aging, and to a method for manufacturing same. [SOLUTION MEANS] An antifouling film equipped with protective film in which protective film is laminated on an antifouling layer of an antifouling film having an antifouling layer on a substrate film X, the antifouling film equipped with protective film being such that, when the protective film is detached from the antifouling film, a contact angle of water with respect to a surface of the protective film that had been in contact with the antifouling layer of the antifouling film is 90 to 115. And also a method for manufacturing the aforementioned antifouling film equipped with protective film in which aging is carried out under certain temperature conditions while the protective film is laminated to a surface of the antifouling layer.

An electrochromic device is structured to selectively switch separate regions to separate transmission levels, based at least in part upon different respective sheet resistances of separate conductive layer regions. Sheet resistance of a conductive layer region can be associated with a transmission level to which a corresponding EC stack region can be switched, and a conductive layer with separate regions having separate sheet resistances causes corresponding EC stack regions to switch to different transmission levels. Sheet resistance in a conductive layer region can be adjusted via various processes, including introducing various chemical species into the conductive layer region to adjust a chemical species distribution in the region, where the chemical species distribution is associated with the sheet resistance of the region, heating conductive layer regions to induce oxidation of the region, adjusting the thickness of a conductive layer region, etc.
