The magnetic recording medium includes: a non-magnetic support; and a non-magnetic layer including a non-magnetic powder and a magnetic layer including a ferromagnetic powder on the non-magnetic support in this order, in which a vertical squareness ratio is 0.70 to 1.00, a center line average roughness Ra measured regarding a surface of the magnetic layer with an atomic force microscope is equal to or smaller than 2.5 nm, and an interface variation rate between the magnetic layer and the non-magnetic layer in a cross section image obtained by imaging with a scanning electron microscope is equal to or less than 2.5%.

A layer of the mixture that contains polymer and conductive particles is applied over a first surface, when the mixture has a first viscosity that allows the conductive particles to rearrange within the layer. An electric field is applied over the layer, so that a number of the conductive particles are aligned with the field and thereafter the viscosity of the layer is changed to a second, higher viscosity, in order to mechanically stabilise the layer. This leads to a stable layer with enhanced and anisotropic conductivity.

The clear coating composition contains a hydroxy-group-containing acrylic resin and a polyisocyanate compound.

A biocompatible polymer hybrid nanocomposite coating on a surface of a substrate, such as titanium and its alloys. The coating can be achieved by an electrostatic spray coating, preferably using ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as a matrix for the coating. For example, up to 2.95 wt. % carbon nanotubes can be used as reinforcement, as can up to 4.95 wt. % hydroxyapatite. A dispersion of CNTs and HA in the coating is substantially uniform. The tribological performance of such coatings include high hardness, improved scratch resistance, excellent wear resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to pure UHMWPE coatings.

A composition and method for spray-applying a two-part, self-setting composition containing a structural reinforcement component that is particularly adapted for delivering the components of the composition at a temperature that promotes their spray application as well as a self-setting reaction. The method includes selecting a self-setting compound that is adapted for curing in place once applied, the self-setting compound including at least one reinforcing material; and applying the compound to a substrate. Alternately, a self-curing compound includes a multi-part compound which, upon a mixing of the parts, chemically reacts and cures, and at least one reinforcing material dispersed into at least one of the parts, wherein the reinforcing material enhances the strength of the coating upon application of the compound.
