A slot die has a die gap which is formed by a first die surface and a second die surface where the second die surface opposes the first die surface. The die gap extends in a width direction and has a height. At least the first die surface has variable degrees of roughness in the width direction.

An electrode mixture slurry coating device includes: a transport roller that transports a band-shaped base material; and a die head provided at a position opposed to the transport roller, and that discharges and applies an electrode mixture slurry to the base material being transported. The die head includes a fluid reservoir in which the electrode mixture slurry accumulates, a discharge port for discharging the electrode mixture slurry, and a fluid path that provides communication between the fluid reservoir and the discharge port. At least a portion, being adjacent to the fluid path, of the die head is formed of a first material having a coefficient of linear expansion of 4.0 ppm/K or less, and y<2000/Aix holds, where x [ppm/K] is the coefficient of linear expansion of the first material, and y [mm] is a length of the discharge port in a longitudinal direction of the die head.

A slit nozzle is moved by a nozzle lifting/lowering mechanism and a nozzle sliding mechanism relative to substrates held in a substantially horizontal attitude by spin chucks. A development liquid is discharged on each substrate from a discharge port of the slit nozzle such that development processing for the substrate is performed. After the development liquid is discharged, the slit nozzle is moved to a waiting position excluding positions over the substrates held by the spin chucks. In waiting pods provided at the waiting positions, cleaning processing for the slit nozzle is performed by a cleaning liquid with gas bubbles mixed therein.

Apparatus and methods for processing a glass sheet can include a coating chamber including a dispensing port to dispense a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a fog chamber including an enclosure, a fog generator to provide fog to the enclosure, and a passage in the enclosure from which fog can exit the enclosure to contact a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments a method can include providing a glass sheet to a coating chamber, and dispensing a coating on a major surface of the glass sheet. In some embodiments, a method can include providing a glass sheet to a fog chamber, providing fog to an enclosure of the fog chamber, and contacting a major surface of the glass sheet with the fog by passing the fog from the enclosure through a passage in the enclosure.

A preform coating device is provided with: a rotational holding part that horizontally holds a preform and rotates the preform about the axis of the preform, and that grasps a spout of the preform; a conveyance part that conveys the preform by moving the rotational holding part; a dispenser that discharges a coating liquid toward the preform; a preform support part that supports the bottom-side end of the cylindrical barrel of the preform while the dispenser is discharging the coating liquid; and a spout support part that supports the outer circumferential surface of the spout of the preform while the dispenser is discharging the coating liquid.

A method includes depositing graphene into a hardener, mixing the hardener and the graphene to produce a homogeneous composite mixture, adding a resin material to the composite mixture to produce an epoxy graphene material, coating a structure with the epoxy graphene material, aligning the graphene sheets in the in-plane orientation, and curing the epoxy graphene material.

An asphalt shingle manufacturing machine that includes a curtain die for applying a liquid release layer on an asphalt coated substrate. The moisture of the liquid release layer evaporates leaving a dispersed solid particulate release layer. The curtain die includes a first body section and a second body section with a shim disposed between the body sections to define a distribution channel. The second body section may include chamber manifold defined therein to store a volume of liquid release agent. The distribution channel places the chamber manifold in fluid communication with a discharge outlet of the curtain die in order to disperse a volume of liquid release agent from a chamber manifold out of the discharge outlet. The shim may be configured to define a width of the distribution channel to determine the flow rate and discharge pattern of the liquid release agent.

A coating apparatus includes a transport roll for transporting a base material, a slit die facing a lower surface of the base material, a coating liquid supply controller for switching on and/or off in supply of a coating liquid to the slit die, and a base material height changing device for ejecting compressed gas onto the lower surface of the base material during a specific period from a termination of the supply of the coating liquid to the slit die to a restart of the supply of the coating liquid to the slit die.
