The present invention is a substrate for a display, the substrate having a film B including a polysiloxane resin on at least one surface of a film A including a polyimide resin, wherein the film B contains inorganic oxide particles therein, and the present invention has an object to provide a substrate for a display: being able to be applied to a color filter, an organic EL element, or the like without the need to carry out any complex operations; allowing high-definition displays to be manufactured; and being provided with a low CTE, a low birefringence, and flexibility.

The present invention provides an imprint apparatus which forms a pattern of an imprint material on a substrate by using a mold, the apparatus comprising: a generator configured to generate ionized gas by ionizing a first gas; a supplier configured to supply a second gas including the ionized gas generated by the generator to a space under the mold; and a controller configured to control a flow rate of the second gas supplied by the supplier to the space, wherein the controller increases the flow rate of the second gas supplied from the supplier to the space so as to reduce a decrease in an ion concentration in the space caused by moving the substrate from the space after the mold is separated from the cured imprint material.

A method of treating a polymer surface using conventional plasma nitriding, and a nitrided polymer surface obtained thereby. The method comprises introducing nitrogen into the polymer surface using conventional plasma nitriding, and optionally functionalizing the nitrided polymer surface with a molecule, such as an antimicrobial moiety, which is capable of forming a covalent bond with the nitrogen atoms within the polymer surface.

Methods for treating cellulosic materials comprising introducing a liquid treating composition into the cellulosic material, the treating composition comprising a solution prepared from at least: (i) one or more of a copper amine complex or copper ammine complex, such as copper tetraamine carbonate, (ii) one or more of ammonia or a water-soluble amine and (iii) water; and exposing the cellulosic material provided thereby to carbon dioxide and/or carbonic acid to provide treated cellulosic material, and treated cellulosic materials prepared thereby.

A block copolymer film having a line pattern with a high degree of long-range order is formed by a method that includes forming a block copolymer film on a substrate surface with parallel facets, and annealing the block copolymer film to form an annealed block copolymer film having linear microdomains parallel to the substrate surface and orthogonal to the parallel facets of the substrate. The line-patterned block copolymer films are useful for the fabrication of magnetic storage media, polarizing devices, and arrays of nanowires.

The disclosure relates to a method for coating a substrate with a lacquer. First, the lacquer is uniformly applied to the substrate. Then, the solvent proportion of the lacquer applied to the substrate is reduced, and the coated substrate is exposed to a solvent atmosphere. In some embodiments, the lacquer is heated. The invention also relates to a device for planarising a lacquer layer.

A method and a device for coating a metal strip with a coating material that is still liquid at first. During the coating, the coated metal strip runs through a roller pair. One of the rollers of the roller pair can be adjusted toward the other as a correction roller in order to eliminate a possible curvature of the metal strip. Then the metal strip runs through a blow-off apparatus for blowing off surplus coating. In order to prevent an uneven thickness distribution of the coating on the metal strip even when the correction roller of the roller pair has been adjusted, the actual position of the metal strip is controlled to a specified setpoint center position in the slot of the blow-off apparatus by an appropriate movement of the blow-off apparatus.

Methods for treating cellulosic materials comprising introducing a liquid treating composition into the cellulosic material, the treating composition comprising a solution prepared from at least: (i) one or more of a copper amine complex or copper ammine complex, such as copper tetraamine carbonate, (ii) one or more of ammonia or a water-soluble amine and (iii) water; and exposing the cellulosic material provided thereby to carbon dioxide and/or carbonic acid to provide treated cellulosic material, and treated cellulosic materials prepared thereby.

The present invention relates to a device, the use thereof and a method for producing highly porous, crystalline surface coatings comprising at least two spraying devices operating in sequential sequence for applying coating agents from the storage vessels (3, 4) to a material arranged on a sample holder (1) and at least one rinsing device (5, 13, 16) for removing unbound molecules from the coated surface.

Described herein is a coating system comprising an applicator head that is configured to apply a coating to a surface of a workpiece, a shroud comprising a housing and an internal cavity located inside of the housing, and a humidifying apparatus comprising an output that is fluidly coupled to the shroud, wherein the humidifying apparatus configured to introduce a quantity of humid air to the internal cavity of the shroud.
