Methods of coating a substrate are disclosed. The methods comprise applying shear force to a coating composition either before or during application of the coating composition to the substrate. The coating composition comprises a water-borne or solvent-borne film-forming resin and a catalyst associated with a carrier, wherein at least some of the catalyst can be released from the carrier upon application of the shear force. Also provided are coated articles prepared by the methods.

The invention relates to a decorative panel, comprising at least one substrate comprising an upper surface and a bottom surface and two pairs of opposing side edges, wherein the substrate comprises at least one core layer and at least one decorative layer and the panel comprising at least one coating layer, wherein the coating layer is provided upon the upper surface of the substrate.

A system for manufacturing a thermoplastic prepreg includes a double belt mechanism that is configured to compress a fiber mat, web, or mesh that is passed through the double belt mechanism, a resin applicator that is configured to apply monomers or oligomers to the fiber mat, web, or mesh, and a curing oven that is configured to effect polymerization of the monomers or oligomers and thereby form the thermoplastic polymer as the fiber mat, web, or mesh is moved through the curing oven. The double belt mechanism compresses the fiber mat, web, or mesh and the applied monomers or oligomers as the fiber mat, web, or mesh is passed through the curing oven so that the monomers or oligomers fully saturate the fiber mat, web, or mesh. Upon polymerization of the monomers or oligomers, the fiber mat, web, or mesh is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer.

A coating method for coating parts in a dip-spin process is provided. The parts to be coated are dipped into a coating liquid and then centrifuged in at least one planetary basket arrangement in a planetary centrifuge. The planetary centrifuge includes a main rotor rotating about a main rotor axis of rotation and at least one planetary basket arrangement rotates about its planetary axis of rotation. Also, the planetary axis of rotation is arranged eccentrically on the main rotor. The at least one planetary basket arrangement can include a plurality of planetary baskets rotatably arranged about the planetary rotation axis of the at least one planetary basket arrangement and the planetary basket arrangement is rotated during a centrifuging operation.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide articles of manufacture and components of articles that incorporate an optical element that imparts a structural color to the component or the article. The component comprises a thermoplastic polymeric material, and can include or be made to have a textured surface.

A manufacturing method of a home appliance including a hairline according to disclosed embodiment includes forming at least one plating layer on the base material, processing the transverse hairline on the upper surface of the plating layer by tilting the hairline processing wheel at a predetermined angle, and forming a coating layer on the hairline.

A method for manufacturing secondary batteries, forming a positive electrode for lithium-ion batteries, it was necessary to select polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or the like as a binder due to the problems of heat resistance or chemical resistance when using a liquid electrolyte such as an organic solvent. Solvents which can dissolve such a resin are limited to normal methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and the like, have a high boiling point, and require a long, high-temperature oven.

By mixing a slurry with a low boiling point solvent, and applying the resultant mixture to a heated object, a parent solvent evaporates due to the azeotropic effect of the low boiling point solvent, and spraying, especially pulsed spraying can evaporate at least 90% of the parent solvent on the object within 5 seconds even when the temperature of the object is 100° C. lower, preferably at least 50° C. lower than that of the parent solvent. Therefore, a drying device has a very small total length, thus by lamination in the form of a thin film, the positive electrode can be easily made into a thick film thickness.

Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.
