Provided is a method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel employing a photocurable adhesive composition which causes no damage to adherends during bonding and which, when used in bonding rugged adherends, can bond the adherends without forming a gap therebetween. The photocurable adhesive composition of the inventive method comprises (A) 100 parts by mass of a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer having a weight-average molecular weight of 20,000 to 100,000, (B) 5 parts to 70 parts by mass of a phenoxy resin, and (C) 0.1 parts to 10 parts by mass of a photopolymerization initiator. The uncured composition has a loss tangent (loss modulus/storage modulus) of less than 1 at 25° C. and the temperature at which the loss tangent of the uncured composition reaches 1 or more is 80° C. or less.

Provided is a complex material that includes a first metal deposition layer, a first thermosetting resin layer positioned on one side of the first metal deposition layer, and a second thermosetting resin layer positioned on the other side of the first metal deposition layer.

This invention discloses a method for controlling nanoscopic wetting near or at a molecular scale for synthetic material applications. In particular this invention relates to a method for preparing a monolayer or thin film with a patterned nanoscopic wetting surface using a ‘sitting’ phase of polymerizable amphiphile, wherein hydrophobic alkyl chains of the amphiphile extend along the supporting surface and the amphiphile molecules align side-to-side, effectively forming a repeating cross-section of bilayer with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic stripes of a ˜6 nm pitch tunable based on the chain length of the amphiphile. Products prepared according to the methods disclosed herein are within the scope of this invention. In some embodiments, monolayers or thin films so prepared are transferable.

A hybrid scaling and patterning apparatus for producing thin films with multi-material, customized patterns is disclosed. The apparatus includes a slot die body integrated with multiple inlets and corresponding converging channels passing materials through the die body in a planar, continuous laminar flow. The hybrid scaling and patterning apparatus may be used in a method of preparing multi-material, patterned thin film materials.

The invention relates to a method for producing a structured, at least partly optically transparent varnish surface on a surface of a substrate board, preferably of a wood material board, having a decoration. The steps of the method include applying a transparent or at least partly transparent varnish to an applicator roll thereby producing a structured varnish surface and transferring the structured varnish surface to a substrate board having a decoration. The varnish is applied to the applicator roll by a plurality of digitally controlled nozzles in a distribution defining a structure and/or is transformed on the applicator roll into a distribution defining a structure. Furthermore, a device for carrying out the method is described.

A process for the manufacture of a scattering polymer film can include (a) making available a film made of organic polymer, (b) applying, to one of the faces of the said film, a liquid composition (c) heating and/or irradiating the layer of liquid composition to form a cured scattering layer. A scattering polymer film can be obtained by this process. A substrate for OLED can include such a film adhesively bonded to a transparent substrate.
