The present invention belongs to the field of super-hydrophobic surface technology, and discloses a durable hydrophilic-super-hydrophobic bipolar self-cleaning composite film and a preparation method therefor. The preparation method is as follows: adding an epoxy silane coupling agent into an organic solvent; after stirring and mixing well, adding an amine curing agent and distilled water to the mixture; stirring and adding micron-sized solid particles and hydrophobic nano silicon dioxide particles; continuing stirring to obtain a hydrophilic layer solution; adding a hydrophobic modifier and a hydrophilic nano silicon dioxide particles into the solvent to obtain a hydrophobic layer solution; coating a pretreated substrate surface with the hydrophilic layer solution, and performing heating treatment at 60° C. to 80° C. for 10-50 min; then coating the surface with the hydrophobic layer solution, and performing heating treatment at 100° C. to 140° C. for 50-90 min to obtain the durable hydrophilic-super-hydrophobic bipolar self-cleaning composite film. The preparation method of the present invention is simple, and the super-hydrophobic surface of the obtained composite film has strong mechanical durability and a good industrial application prospect.

A makeup blending sponge. The sponge comprises a foam core and a layer of coating. The layer of coating covers a portion of an outer surface of the foam core. The portion may be about 70% to about 90% of the total surface area of the outer surface of the foam core. The foam core may be polyurethane. The layer of coating is an elastomer, and may be a mixture of an elastomer and a thinning agent. The elastomer may be silicone. A method of manufacturing the makeup blending sponge and the use thereof are also disclosed.

An alkoxysilane is contacted with water and an inorganic acid to form a first composition. A zirconium alkoxide is contacted with an organic acid to form a second composition. One or more alkoxysilanes and an organic acid are contacted with a mixture of the first and second compositions to form a sol-gel composition, to which a photoinitiator is added. The sol-gel composition has a ratio of a number of moles of silicon to a number of moles of zirconium (n.sub.Si/n.sub.Zr) ranging from about 2 to about 10. The sol-gel composition is applied on a substrate (e.g., an aluminum alloy substrate) multiple times to form multiple sol-gel layers, and at least one of the sol-gel layers is cured by UV radiation. The multiple sol-gel layers are then thermally cured.

An electronic component, or a precursor thereof, that comprises a curable organopolysiloxane composition or a cured product thereof is disclosed. The curable organopolysiloxane composition is generally curable through a hydrosilylation reaction and can be applied to at least one area by a microdroplet application device. The curable organopolysiloxane composition has a viscosity of no more than 2.0 Pa.Math.s at a strain rate of 1,000 (1/s), and a viscosity at a strain rate of 0.1 (1/s) being a value no less than 50.0 times the viscosity at a strain rate of 1,000 (1/s). In particular, the area of application generally is a substantially circular area that fits within a frame no more than 1000 μm in diameter, a linear area no more than 1000 μm in line width, or a pattern configured from a combination of these areas.

In one aspect, curable coating compositions are provided that comprise (i) one or more organosilanes; and (ii) one or more compounds comprising a substituted acrylate moiety, a substituted acrylamide moiety or a substituted vinyl ether moiety. The compositions can produce a strong outer coating layer on a variety of substrate surfaces.

Embodiments of the disclosure are generally directed to systems and methods for switchable electroactive devices for head-mounted displays (HMDs). In particular, a method may include (1) applying an electric field to an electroactive element of an electroactive device via electrodes of the electroactive device that are electrically coupled to the electroactive element to compress the electroactive element, which comprises a polymer material defining nanovoids, such that an average size of the nanovoids is decreased and a density of the nanovoids is increased in the electroactive element, wherein the electroactive device is positioned at a distance from a user's eye, and (2) emitting image light from an emissive device positioned such that at least a portion of the image light is incident on a surface of the electroactive device facing the user's eye.

A vehicle lamp and a method for manufacturing a vehicle lamp. The vehicle lamp includes a lower substrate, a fluorescent film and a color filter stacked in this order. The fluorescent film and the color filter include polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).

An example device includes a nanovoided polymer element, which may be located at least in part between the electrodes. In some examples, the nanovoided polymer element may include anisotropic voids, including a gas, and separated from each other by polymer walls. The device may be an electroactive device, such as an actuator having a response time for a transition between actuation states. The gas may have a characteristic diffusion time (e.g., to diffuse half the mean wall thickness through the polymer walls) that is less than the response time. The nanovoids may be sufficiently small (e.g., below 1 micron in diameter or an analogous dimension), and/or the polymer walls may be sufficiently thin, such that the gas interchange between gas in the voids and gas absorbed by the polymer walls may occur faster than the response time, and in some examples, effectively instantaneously.
