The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a working electrode, the method comprising application of a sensing material in several steps. Further, the present invention relates to an analyte sensor comprising the working electrode as well as to the use of the analyte sensor for detecting at least one analyte in a sample.

Provided is a vehicle coating structure formed on a surface of a base plate of an exterior member of a vehicle. The vehicle coating structure includes: a coating layer formed on the surface of the base plate of the exterior member; a peelable layer formed on a surface of the coating layer or the surface of the base plate, the peelable layer having peelability; and a transparent matte layer formed on a surface of the peelable layer, the transparent matte layer being made of a transparent matte coating material.

The automobile decorative-part (1) comprises a resin-compact (3) having a decorative-layer (2) on its surface-layer and comprises a clear-coat layer (4) for protecting said surface-layer, and that a high-gloss region (R1) of a relatively high-gloss level is mixed with a low-gloss region (R2) of a relatively low-gloss level on the surface of said decorative-part, and that a clear-coat paint is sprayed by an atomization-coating machine onto the surface of the decorative-layer (2), and that the atomization-coating machine contains an ester-based solvent of a low-boiling point as the main-solvent that has a boiling-point of 100 degrees Celsius or less and has a solid-content of 35 to 40 percent by mass, thus forming the clear-coat layer (4) that makes it partially possible to mat the gloss of the surface of the clear-coat layer, thus manufacturing a decorative-part with an excellent quality design.

A manufacturing method of an ultra-matte board, which includes a semi-curing step, an irradiating step with an ultraviolet excimer lamp and a full curing step. The semi-curing step includes: coating a UV paint on a substrate, and irradiating the coated substrate with an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength ranging from 350 nm to 450 nm to semi-cure the UV paint; the irradiating step with the ultraviolet excimer lamp includes: placing the semi-cured substrate in an inert gas atmosphere and irradiating the substrate with an ultraviolet excimer lamp for 2 s to 20 s; and the full curing step includes: irradiating with an ultraviolet lamp with a wavelength ranging from 350 nm to 450 nm to fully cure the UV paint to obtain the ultra-matte board.

An article including a durable, optically transparent, and superhydrophobic coating is described. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a coating comprising a layer of aerogel disposed interstitially between spaced features extending in a direction perpendicular to a major surface of the coating, the spaced features having an average height of between 200-5000 nm and an average spacing of between 10-2000 nm, and comprising at least 75 wt. % of one or more of crystalline or amorphous silicon, an inorganic oxide, a polymer, crystalline or amorphous carbon, a carbide, or a nitride.

A method may be provided for manufacturing a panel that may include a substrate and a top layer provided on the substrate. The top layer may have a printed motif and a translucent or transparent synthetic material layer provided above the printed motif. The panel may have a structure or relief at the surface. The method may involve milling profiles into the substrate to obtain mechanical coupling means for coupling together two of the panels. The structure or relief and/or the printed motif may be realized after milling the profiles into the substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a process for producing matt coatings on sheetlike substrates. The method includes providing an uncured lacquer layer of a UV radiation-curable liquid lacquer formulation F on a surface of the substrate to be coated. The method also includes irradiating the lacquer layer with UV radiation substantially in the wavelength range of 250 to 420 nm with a radiation dose which results in partial curing of the lacquer layer. The method further includes irradiating the partially cured lacquer layer with UV radiation in the wavelength range of 150 to <250 nm under inert gas. The method further includes irradiating the partially cured lacquer layer with UV radiation substantially in the wavelength range of 250 to 420 nm or with electron radiation with a radiation dose which results in end-curing of the lacquer layer.

A method for producing a labeled printed circuit board, as well as a labeled electric printed circuit board. In order to provide a method for producing a labeled printed circuit board that is particularly fast and energy-conserving and does not require any systems with high procurement and operating costs, initially a substrate with conductor tracks is supplied, which is then coated with a functional lacquer layer on at least one surface. A labeling of the substrate in different color shades of the functional lacquer layer is also carried out.
