An alkali-resistant water repellent member according to the present invention has: a silica layer on at least one surface of a base material, said silica layer having a film thickness of from 1 nm to 5 μm, while containing 50% by mass or more of silica nanoparticles and 1% by mass or more of an organosilicon compound that has a plurality of silanol groups in each molecule; and a water repellent oil repellent layer on the outer surface of the silica layer, said water repellent oil repellent layer having a film thickness of from 0.5 nm to 30 nm, while being mainly composed of a cured product of a hydrolyzable fluorine-containing organosilicon compound. This alkali-resistant water repellent member is able to easily provide various base materials with a water repellent oil repellent coating film in a stable manner, said coating film having excellent alkali resistance and wet wear resistance.

A laminate including a base material and a resin layer provided on at least one surface of the base material. The resin layer is formed of a heat- or active energy ray-curable resin composition, and an outermost surface of the laminate on the one surface side of the base material has an unevenness containing a wrinkle structure.

A coiled metal substrate with a faux galvanized surface appearance. The faux galvanized surface of the substrate including a spangle print pattern of polyvinylidene fluoride (PFDV) flexographically applied to the metal substrate. Atop the PFDV print pattern is semi-transparent coating of fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) flexographically applied atop the spangle print pattern of PFDV.

Nanostructured coating materials, methods of their production, and methods of use in a variety of applications are described. The nanostructured materials described herein include one or more 2.sup.+ and/or 3.sup.+ metal ion(s), optionally in a ternary phase, on a substrate.

Tunable multi-layer thermoplastic polymer sealants and tunable two-layer conductive thermoplastic polymer sealants, and substrates and assemblies comprising the tunable multi-layer sealants; and edge seals and fillet seals produced comprising such sealants; and substrates, components and objects comprising the tunable edge seals and fillet seals, and methods for making and applying such edge seals and fillet seals are disclosed.

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.

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.

The present invention relates to a cured product having excellent stain resistance and low gloss, a method of manufacturing the same, and an interior material including the cured product. The cured product according to the present invention includes, along with an acrylic oligomer, an oligomer having a functional group containing silicon (Si) and an oligomer having a functional group containing fluorine (F), and thus, has excellent stain resistance and can implement a micro-folded structure on a surface thereof through extreme ultraviolet rays to be used during curing, thereby being capable of realizing low gloss without a matting agent.

Tunable multi-layer thermoplastic polymer sealants and tunable two-layer conductive thermoplastic polymer sealants, and substrates and assemblies comprising the tunable multi-layer sealants; and edge seals and fillet seals produced comprising such sealants; and substrates, components and objects comprising the tunable edge seals and fillet seals, and methods for making and applying such edge seals and fillet seals are disclosed.
