A method for producing an elastomeric skin having visually spotted appearance may include providing a liquid skin forming composition having solid spot forming particles having a longest dimension that is at least 40 μm and spraying the liquid skin forming composition in the form of a spray of droplets onto a mold surface. The provision of solid spot forming particles that are comparable in size to the droplet size may aid in projecting the solid spot forming particles forward upon impact on the mold surface such that a percentage thereof appear visible on the front face of the elastomeric skin after demolding thereby resulting in a front face with a spotted appearance without having to use multiple liquid skin forming compositions.

The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible drag reduction coatings, and in particular to a method for preparing a flexible and elastic drag reduction film. The flexible and elastic drag reduction film prepared by the present invention has excellent flexibility and elasticity. The film has a groove structure on a surface, and is suitable for curved surfaces and pipe surfaces of different diameters. The film is directly used without the need for an adhesive. It is sheathed on curved structures or devices of different diameters and curvatures by virtue of its own flexibility and elasticity, reducing an error due to the film adhesion.

There is provided a method and system for forming a composite material. The method includes: combining a first component element with a second component element to form a composite mixture; subjecting the composite mixture to a first force to in order to form ligaments and disperse the first component element and second component element in relation to each other, wherein the first force is a mechanical force, subjecting the ligaments to at least one second force in order to form attenuated ligaments and further disperse the first component element and second component element in relation to each other, wherein the at least one second force imparts both shear flow deformation and extensional flow deformation to the ligaments to form the attenuated ligaments; and collecting the attenuated ligaments. There is also provided a composite material prepared using the method described above.

The present invention relates to an ultrahigh sensitive pressure-sensing film based on spiky hollow carbon spheres and the fabrication method thereof. The fabricated spiky hollow carbon spheres composed polydimethylsiloxane sensing film whose spheres were well dispersed in the matrix. The spiky structure is useful for the spheres to trigger Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling effect and thus enhancing the sensitivity of the material. The carbon material fabricated by the precursor transformation method contains a proper Nitrogen doping, which has efficiently increased the carrier migration ability. The hollow structure can both regulate the density of fillers and help to improve its temperature independence. Calcine the spheres under an inert atmosphere to transform the spiky hollow organic spheres into a carbon one, in this process the Nitrogen fraction and graphitization can be adjusted. The above carbon spheres then can be assembled with polydimethylsiloxane to achieve the composite film. The material of the present invention exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity, high sensing density, transparent, low hysteresis, temperature noninterference, and its processing method is simple, maturity and environment friendly.
