A multilayer vehicle exterior coating is both durable and easy to install and conforms FAA standards. This vehicle sheet coating has no film or substrate resulting in a finished coating sheet that is about 6 mils thick (0.006″). The multilayer protective sheet material is suitable for application to vehicle exterior surface.

A problem to be addressed by the present invention is to provide a method of producing a printed material by printing an active energy ray-curable printing ink on a film, wherein the printed material has good adhesion between the ink and the film even after undergoing boiling treatment for boiling sterilization or retorting sterilization. Such a problem is solved by a method of producing a printed material, including the steps of printing an ink on a film; and irradiating the ink-printed face with an active energy ray; wherein the film contains: a polyamide film layer; and a layer that, as the outermost layer of at least one face of the film, contains a polyurethane obtained by use of a polycarbonate polyol as a polyol component.

A method of modifying the surface of a coating layer applied to a substrate is disclosed. The surface modification method includes a step (s1) of preparing a substrate by performing pretreatment, a step (s2) of coating the substrate with a coating layer, and a step (s3) of modifying the surface of the coating layer by vibrating the substrate in the vertical direction. The surface modification method does not include a separate chemical process and is thus environmentally friendly and economically advantageous.

A coating composition comprising water, water-soluble cationic phosphonium salts and polyurethane particles including sulfonated- or carboxylated-diamine groups, isocyanate-generated amine groups, and polyalkylene oxide side-chains. Also disclosed is a coated printable medium, with an image-side and a back-side, comprising a base substrate and the coating composition, such as described herein, that is applied over, at least, one side of the base substrate, forming an image-receiving layer. Also disclosed is the method for making such printable medium.

Provided is a manufacturing method for a substrate having a microstructure. The manufacturing method for a substrate having a microstructure comprises the steps of: forming a microstructure on the upper surface of an auxiliary substrate; coating a base solution on the microstructure; forming a base substrate covering the microstructure by heattreating the base solution; and removing the auxiliary substrate from the base substrate.

A coating composition can include water and polyurethane particles including sulfonated- or carboxylated-diamine groups, isocyanate-generated amine groups, and polyalkylene oxide side-chains.

The present disclosure relates to a method of depositing a fluid onto a substrate. In some embodiments, the method may be performed by mounting a substrate to a micro-fluidic probe card, so that the substrate abuts a cavity within the micro-fluidic probe card that is in communication with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A first fluidic chemical is selectively introduced into the cavity via the fluid inlet of the micro-fluidic probe card.
