The invention discloses a novel solution and process comprising a modified solvent for providing enhanced blade edge attributes.

Nanostructured coating materials, methods of their production, and methods of use in a variety of applications are described. The nanostructured materials described herein include one or more 2.sup.+ and/or 3.sup.+ metal ion(s), optionally in a ternary phase, on a substrate.

Provided is a resin sheet made from fluororesin, having excellent thermal expansion property in the thickness direction. The resin sheet includes a fluororesin and an anisotropic filler. The anisotropic filler is uniaxially oriented in the film thickness direction and randomly oriented in the plane direction.

A tie sub layer of a release coating on a metal support includes between 20% and 80% by weight of the total weight of the sub layer of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polyethyleneimines (PEI), polyimides (PI), polyamide imides (PAI) and polybenzymidazoles (PBI), with a weight ratio PAEK:(PEI+PI+PAI+PBI) of between 1:1 and 15:I; at least 20%, preferably at least 25%, by weight of the total weight of the sublayer of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of phenylene polysulfides (PPS) and polyethersulfones (PES); less than 40%, preferably less than 30%, by weight of the total weight of the sub layer of reinforcing inorganic fillers, preferably between 5% and 25% by weight; between 0% and 5% by weight of the total weight of the sub layer of one or more fluorocarbon or acrylic resins; and optionally one or more pigments.

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.

A method of manufacturing a razor blade cutting edge, the method including: applying a single coating of a polymer material to the razor blade cutting edge to form a coated blade edge; selecting a temperature profile, where the temperature profile has a temperature and a time, and wherein the temperature profile is selected based on a composition of the razor blade cutting edge; heating the coated blade edge at the temperature and for the time indicated by the selected temperature profile to adhere the polymer material to the razor blade cutting edge; and optionally treating the coated blade edge with a solvent or a mechanical process to partially remove the coating.

Provided is a primer composition capable of curbing bubbling in a multilayer body in the case of being used to form a primer layer in the multilayer body. A primer composition for rotolining containing a powder or pellet of a perfluoropolymer and at least one predetermined powder selected from the group consisting of an amine antioxidant having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less and an organic sulfur-containing compound having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less.
