A method for forming a polyethylene and alumina nanocomposite coating on a substrate is described. The method may use microparticles of UHMWPE with nanoparticles of alumina to form a powder mixture, which is then applied to a heated steel substrate to form the nanocomposite coating. The nanocomposite coating may have a Vickers hardness of 10.5-12.5 HV.

A coating composition for a food and/or beverage container comprising a polyester material, wherein the polyester material comprises the reaction product of; (a) 1,2-propanediol, (b) terephthalic acid, and (c) a molecular weight increasing agent,
characterized in that the polyester material has a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of at least 6,100 Da and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 80 C.

A charge-modified particle comprising the inorganic core and a shell surrounding the inorganic core, wherein the shell comprises a copolymer comprising monomeric units corresponding to free-radically polymerizable monomers, and wherein at least one of the monomeric units comprises a substituted benzotriazolylphenolate salt. Methods of making the charge-modified particle by admicellar polymerization are also disclosed.

Provided herein are compositions, compounds, processes, and methods of use of 3D porous coating(s) on or near a nanopore(s) for analysis or detection of charged polymers such as nucleic acids, proteins, protein-nucleic acid complexes, small molecule-biological complexes, polymer-biological complexes, and/or polyelectrolytes.

The process for coating a guide comprises at least the steps of: supplying a guide (1) made of metallic material and comprising an outer surface (2, 3) provided with a first portion (2) adapted to slide a carriage (4) and a second portion (3) separate from the first portion (2); depositing a first coating layer (9) on the first portion (2) and on the second portion (3); cataphoretic painting the guide (1) adapted to deposit a second coating layer (12) onto the first portion (2) and onto the second portion (3) on top of the first coating layer (9); and removing the second coating layer (12) from the first portion (2).

A method and apparatus for fabrication of objects retaining nano-scale characteristics. A composition is provided comprising grain growth inhibitor particles in solution with a binding agent in a molten phase. An electric field and a magnetic field are generated with a combined extraction electrode. The composition is electrosprayed from a nozzle with the electric field to form a stream of droplets. The electric field drives the droplets toward a moving stage holding an object comprising successive deposition layers. The magnetic field limits dispersion of the stream of droplets. The stage is moved laterally as the stream of droplets impacts the object to form a current deposition layer of the object. The stage is moved vertically as necessary to maintain a target stand-off distance between the nozzle and a previous deposition layer of the object, based on profile data of the previous deposition layer.

A release agent for a hot-forging die, containing micronanobubbles.

An electrode sheet manufacturing method includes a first applying step, a second applying step, and a heating-pressing step. In the first and the second applying step, an electrode mixture material is applied on a first surface of a current collector foil. In the first applying step, the backup roll is rotated while being in contact with a second surface of the current collector foil, and the supplying roll is rotated while being supplied with the electrode mixture material in a powder state on the surface of the supplying roll. In addition, a potential difference is produced between these rolls, and the electrode mixture material is moved from the supply roll to the first surface of the current collector foil by an electrostatic force acting between the electrode mixture material and the current collector foil.

A vehicle body assembly includes a frame having a forward frame part defining a passenger cabin and a rear frame part defining a load carrying bed. A separate rear fender is removably fastened to the rear frame part, wherein a gap is provided between the forward frame part and the rear fender. A separate rear fender fairing is mounted to an inside surface of the rear fender. The rear fender fairing includes a seal located in the gap and sealingly engaging both the forward frame part and the rear fender.

A mica-containing pigment composition having spherical particles composed primarily of polyester and mica for use in electrostatic powder coating applications. The particles are produced by precipitation under shear stress from a solution containing mica and a polyester resin.
