The present invention provides a method for printing energy-curable ink and coating compositions that have good adhesion to substrates, good print quality, solvent and scratch resistance, and low potential for migration of uncured monomers. The method comprises the steps of printing the ink or coating onto a substrate; partially curing the printed ink or coating by irradiating with UV energy; optionally printing and partially UV curing additional ink layers printed on the first layer; and completing curing via exposure to electron beam radiation, wherein the EB cure dose is greater than or equal to 20 kGy, and the accelerating voltage is greater than or equal to 70 keV.

The present disclosure proposes a process for producing a structured antiwear film, comprising the process steps of: a. providing a base antiwear film, b. applying a formable outer paint layer to at least part of the area of the base antiwear film, c. at least partially structuring the outer paint layer by means of a digital printing process to create a structuring of the outer paint layer, and d. curing the outer paint layer such that the outer paint layer is first partly cured, wherein UV radiation with a wavelength in a range from ≥150 nm to ≤250 nm is used for the partial curing, and wherein the outer paint layer is then cured to completion, and wherein e. the outer paint layer, before being supplied to the printing unit for partially structuring the outer paint layer and/or during the printing operation for partially structuring the outer paint layer in the printing unit, is treated with means for changing the electrostatic charge of the outer layer, in that the outer layer is electrostatically discharged.

The present invention provides a two-dimensional material nanosheets with a large area and a controllable thickness and a general preparation method therefor. As an intralayer heat transfer coefficient of a two-dimensional material is much higher than an interlayer heat transfer coefficient thereof, the two-dimensional material is uniformly heated and sublimated layer by layer by controlling the energy of the laser pulses, a thinning thickness is controlled by adjusting the action time of the laser pulses, and finally, a two-dimensional material film with a controllable thickness is obtained. At the same time, a sample displacement stage moving freely in a two-dimensional plane space can realize preparation of the two-dimensional material film with a large area. Compared with traditional methods, the present invention can control a sample thickness of the two-dimensional material film, has a high generality, and is suitable for all kinds two-dimensional materials.
