Forming a dual layer filtration membrane includes disposing a first solution with a homopolymer and a first solvent on a substrate to yield a homopolymer layer on the substrate; disposing a second solution with a block polymer and a second solvent on the homopolymer layer to yield a dual layer liquid film having a block polymer layer on the homopolymer layer; disordering the block polymer layer to yield a disordered block polymer layer; vitrifying the disordered block polymer of the disordered block polymer layer and inducing phase separation and vitrification of the homopolymer of the homopolymer layer; and creating pores in the disordered block polymer layer to yield the dual layer filtration membrane having a porous disordered block polymer layer.

Embodiments of the invention relate to composite structures and foams having graphene flakes on at least one outer surface but not in the intermediate portions thereof, methods of making the foams, composite laminate structures having the foams, methods of making composite laminate structures having the foams, laminate structures having graphene flakes on at least one outer surface thereof; and methods of making laminate structures having graphene flakes on at least one outer surface thereof. The composite structures and foams having graphene flakes on an outer surface thereof provide relatively low heat release properties compared to those not having graphene flakes on an outer surface thereof.

A method of forming a mud motor stator having a passage including a first end defining a first opening, a second end defining a second opening and an intermediate portion extending therebetween includes introducing a liner material into the passage at one of the first end and the second end of the stator, inserting a mandrel having a contoured surface into the passage through one of the first end and the second end of the stator, shifting one of the mandrel and the stator relative to the other of the mandrel and the stator, and flowing the liner material over the contoured surface of the mandrel from the one of the first and second ends toward the other of the first and second ends to form a liner on the inner surface of the passage.

Provided is a manufacturing method for a substrate having a microstructure. The manufacturing method for a substrate having a microstructure comprises the steps of: forming a microstructure on the upper surface of an auxiliary substrate; coating a base solution on the microstructure; forming a base substrate covering the microstructure by heattreating the base solution; and removing the auxiliary substrate from the base substrate.

A method for obtaining an object, such as an interior design object or a piece of furniture, includes the steps of producing a base structure of the object, and applying a coating to at least part of the base structure. The step of applying the coating includes distributing, onto the base structure, a material castable in a mold or producing one or more preformed blocks of this castable material in a mold to be joined to the base structure, and subsequently machining the coating using machine tools to generate a final shape.

Devices and methods are described that provide printing of three-dimensional objects using reactive materials such as materials that result in a polyurethane formulation. Three-dimensional printing in accordance with the present disclosure can be performed using an inkjet printer or other systems that deposit or dispense material. A formulation made up of two or more reactive materials and, optionally, one or more UV-curable materials is also provided. The materials can be jetted based on a desired configuration to achieve a maximum reaction between materials, and can be based on desired jetting or molar ratios. By heating or applying energy on the jetted materials, their reaction and related solidifying can be accelerated. Corrective printing is also provided for, and can be used at desired intervals to eliminate printing errors relative to the object as modeled. Systems and methods used in conjunction with all of the same are provided.

Some embodiments include a construction having a horizontally-extending layer of fluorocarbon material over a semiconductor construction. Some embodiments include methods of filling openings that extend into a semiconductor construction. The methods may include, for example, printing the material into the openings or pressing the material into the openings. The construction may be treated so that surfaces within the openings adhere the material provided within the openings while surfaces external of the openings do not adhere the material. In some embodiments, the surfaces external of the openings are treated to reduce adhesion of the material.
