A process for forming a coating on a substrate including atomizing a formulation and applying the formulation to a substrate to form a coating on a substrate.

Methods for forming and controlling morphology cracks in silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2) film comprising: preparing SiO.sub.2precursor solution comprising solvent, precursor of SiO.sub.2, precursor of metal oxide nanocrystals, water, and acid; coating the solution onto substrate; drying the solution atop the substrate at a temperature between about 20° C. to 100° C. between 1 minute to 24 hours to form SiO.sub.2 film having uniformly dispersed metal oxide nanocrystals, wherein shorter drying times yield substantially spherical shaped metal oxide nanocrystals and longer drying times yield rod and disc shaped metal oxide nanocrystals; and thermally treating the SiO.sub.2 film between about 60° C. to 500° C. between 1 minute to 24 hours to form cracked mesh SiO.sub.2 film, wherein two cracks initiate from rod shaped metal oxide nanocrystals, three to four cracks initiate from spherical shaped metal oxide nanocrystals, and four or more cracks initiate from disc shaped metal oxide nanocrystals. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A highly stretchable superhydrophobic thin film using initiated chemical vapor deposition is prepared by a method in which a substrate is coated with a copolymer at a nanometer thickness by allowing a fluorine monomer containing 4 to 6 fluoroalkyl groups and having a glass transition temperature of 5° C. or less to react with a crosslinking monomer on the substrate in the presence of an initiator in an initiated chemical vapor deposition reactor and thus its durability can be secured in foldable and wearable devices.

Waterproof composite fabrics comprising a textile layer and a continuous polymer layer that comprises adjoining first and second regions with different physical or visual properties, and knife-over-roll coating methods for 5 manufacturing said composite fabrics. The waterproof composite fabrics described are particularly suitable for covering medical support surfaces, for instance mattresses.

The present invention relates to a film comprising hydrophobically modified cellulose fibers in which cellulose fibers are bound to a modifying group at one or more members selected from anionic groups and hydroxyl groups, and an oil having an SP value of 10 or less. The film of the present invention can be utilized in the fields of materials for packaging containers for cosmetics and foods.

A process for manufacturing continuous ceramic tape includes steps of heating a ceramic feedstock to a molten state and spraying molten droplets of the feedstock onto a deposition surface. The method further includes forming a ceramic coating on the deposition surface by accumulating the droplets, which solidify and are directly bonded to one another. The deposition surface is non-stick with respect to the ceramic coating such that the coating may be peeled off of the deposition surface as a continuous ceramic tape, without fracture. Additionally, in embodiments, the deposition surface is removed by running the deposition over a bending edge, chemically stripping or dissolving the deposition surface, or burning the deposition surface.
