A method of making a flexible pipe layer, which method comprises: commingling polymer filaments and carbon fibre filaments to form an intimate mixture, forming yarns of the commingled filaments, forming the yarns into a tape, and applying the tape to a pipe body to form a flexible pipe layer.

The embodiments provide a process and an apparatus for easily producing a transparent electrode of low resistance and of high transparency. The process comprises: coating a hydrophobic polymer film with a dispersion of metal nanowires, press-bonding an electroconductive substrate directly onto the metal nanowires on the polymer film, and peeling and transferring the metal nanowires from the polymer film onto the conductive substrate. The embodiments also relates to an apparatus for the process.

A self-cleaning transparent conductive surface includes a hydrophobic film and a metal nano-web coupled to the hydrophobic film. The metal nano-web imparts conductive properties to the surface of the film and texturing formed by either the hydrophobic film, substrate or metal nano-web create a super-hydrophobic surface. This super-hydrophobic and conductive surface may be created by etching and layering a metal nano-web over the surface of a hydrophobic film or a rigid substrate, the metal grid may the hydrophobic film or substrate may also be etched in a moth's eye pattern. Both the hydrophobic film or substrate and metal nano-web may be coated in a layer of hydrophobic material to further increase the hydrophobic effect.

A transparent heat-insulating film is provided, wherein the transparent heat-insulating film includes a base layer including a first surface and a second surface, a hard-coat layer, a silver nanowire layer, and a protective layer including an inner surface and an outer surface. The hard-coat layer and the silver nanowire layer are disposed between the first surface of the base layer and the inner surface of the protective layer. A temperature of the second surface of the base layer is T1 (° C.), a temperature of the outer surface of the protective layer is T2 (° C.), and a temperature difference between T1 and T2 (T1−T2) is ΔT. When T1=50-100° C. and the base layer and the protective layer reach thermal equilibrium, ΔT=0.15T1−0.35T1.
