Apparatus and methods using coatings for metal applications
A method includes obtaining a metal substrate coated with a polymeric film which includes a first polymer obtained using a cationic photoinitiator and a second polymer obtained using a free-radical photoinitiator. The method further includes deep drawing the metal substrate and the polymeric film while the polymeric film is in a first crosslink density state and curing the deep-drawn polymeric film to achieve a second crosslink density state.
