A coated article includes a substrate with a first surface and a second surface and a functional coating applied over the surface. The functional coating includes a base layer over at least a portion of the substrate; a metallic layer over at least a portion of the base layer; and a top layer over at least a portion of the metallic layer. The base layer includes a first film of tin oxide over at least a portion of the substrate and a second film covering the entire portion of the first film. Methods of making a coated article, reducing scattering center formation, and reducing red haze formation are also provided.

In laminating resin layers on both surfaces of a metal foil layer by adhering a heat-resistant resin layer to a first surface of the metal foil layer and adhering a heat-sealable resin layer to a second surface thereof, as an adhering method, by employing an adhesive agent unapplied portion forming and adhering process in which the resin layer and the metal foil layer are adhered together by applying an adhesive agent to a region of a joining face of both the layers excluding a part of the region so that an adhesive agent unapplied section is formed, a laminated body having the adhesive agent unapplied section is manufactured. A resin layer removal process for removing a resin layer corresponding to the adhesive agent unapplied section of the laminated body to expose the metal foil layer is performed.

Provided is a tin-plated steel sheet which is more excellent in yellowing resistance in a steel sheet for containers having a film layer containing zirconium without being subjected to a conventional chromate treatment. A tin-plated steel sheet is adopted which has a steel sheet, a tin plating layer located on at least one surface of the steel sheet, and a film layer located on the tin plating layer and containing zirconium oxide and tin sulfide, in which an adhesion amount of the tin-based plating layer is 0.1 g/m.sup.2 or more and 15 g/m.sup.2 or less in terms of the amount of metal Sn, an adhesion amount of the zirconium oxide in the film layer is 0.2 mg/m.sup.2 or more and 50 mg/m.sup.2 or less in terms of the amount of metal Zr, and an adhesion amount of the tin sulfide is 0.1 mg/m.sup.2 or more and 5 mg/m.sup.2 or less in terms of the amount of sulfur.

A glazing system includes a first transparent layer comprising at least one of glass and a polymer. A first conductive layer arranged on one side of an autoshading layer. A second conductive layer arranged on an opposite side of the autoshading layer and including an antenna. A second transparent layer includes at least one of glass and a polymer. The autoshading layer, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are arranged between the first transparent layer and the second transparent layer.

Disclosed is a method of electrochemical delamination of polymeric films from metallic articles. Also disclosed are systems for achieving the same.

A conductive material includes a base material composed of copper or a copper alloy; an underlayer being one or more layers composed of one or more selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co and Fe; a CuSn alloy layer; and a Sn layer in this order. A part of the CuSn alloy layer is exposed on a Sn layer-side surface of the conductive material, and an arithmetic mean height evaluated with a cut-off value of 25 m is 0.03 m or more in a 250 m square region containing 50 area % or more of the Sn layer in the Sn layer-side surface of the conductive material.
