In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method for producing an aluminum platter, including the following steps 1 and 2: step 1: bringing a composition containing a compound (component A) that has at least one structure represented by the following formula (I) and has a molecular weight between 50 and 100,000 inclusive into contact with a substrate surface of a Ni—P plated aluminum alloy substrate; and step 2: forming a magnetic layer on the substrate obtained in the step 1. ##STR00001##

A repair method for a gas turbine blade comprises: a step of removing a thermal barrier coating to expose at least part of a base material of the gas turbine blade; a first etching step of etching the exposed base material; a first identification step of identifying a base material deterioration layer that is harder than the base material from the etched base material; a first removal step of removing the identified base material deterioration layer if the base material deterioration layer is identified in the first identification step; and a step of applying a thermal barrier coating to the exposed base material after it is determined that there is no base material deterioration layer in the first identification step, or after the base material deterioration layer is removed in the first removal step.

Provided are: a hydrophilization treatment agent; and a method for forming a hydrophilic coating film, which are capable of forming a coating film which has excellent hydrophilicity and water droplet removal properties and can maintain the excellent water drop removal properties. A polyetheramine is added to a specific aqueous resin dispersion and crosslinkable fine particles in a specific composition. Specifically, this hydrophilization treatment agent contains an aqueous resin dispersion (A), crosslinkable fine particles (B), and a polyetheramine (C), wherein: the aqueous resin dispersion (A) contains an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A1) as a resin solid content and a radical polymer (A2) having a structural unit derived from a radically polymerizable carboxylic acid monomer (A2-1); ((A1)/(A2)) is 0.43-2.33; ((B)/(resin solid content of (A)) is 0.11-1.43; and ((C)/((resin solid content of (A))+(B))) is 0.1-0.38.

The present disclosure provides fluid barriers as well as systems and methods of forming fluid barriers. The method includes cleaning, via a blast media, a first side of a component and heating the component to a first temperature. Subsequently, the component is cleaned using a solvent. Subsequent to heating at least the component, a primer coating layer is formed on the first side of the component, and a topcoat layer is formed in contact with the primer coating layer. A primer coating material can be heated to a second temperature prior to formation of the primer coating layer. The first temperature can be different than the second temperature.

A volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux radiation curable composition for aerosol containers including an acrylate-terminated compound component, a thiol monomer or oligomer component, a photoinitiator component, a surface additive component, and an ethanol-based reducer, wherein the composition does not include an acetone component. Moreover, other implementations are directed towards methods of using the aerosol containers to apply the UV Curable Composition.

Coating compositions are provided that eject droplets of condensed fluid from a surface. The coatings include a nanostructured coating layer and in some embodiments, also include a hydrophobic layer deposited thereon. The coating materials eject droplets from the surface in the presence of non-condensing gases such as air and may be deployed under conditions of supersaturation of the condensed fluid to be ejected. A heat exchanger design utilizing the coating is described herein.
