An embroidery simulation system and method configured to create desired artwork on a readily attachable base member having the appearance of simulated embroidery is disclosed. The system and method are configured to enable an emblem to be created that resembles embroidery and is configured to enable the emblem to be attached to goods, that were traditionally embroidered, in a fraction of the time previously needed to embroider that same article. In addition, the emblem to be created by the system and method may be attached to goods that traditionally we unable to be embroidered, such as drinking mugs and other hard surfaced goods. The embroidery simulation system and method enhance the flexibility of a company by increasing the type and diversity of product to which an emblem can be affixed while also reducing inventory requirements for resellers of goods.

This disclosure provides a fluorine-containing mixture and a fluorine-containing super-oleophobic microporous membrane using the fluorine-containing mixture as a raw material, as well as preparation methods and applications for the fluorine-containing mixture and the fluorine-containing super-oleophobic microporous membrane.

The composite ion exchange membranes of the present disclosure include a first layer comprising a first ion-conducting membrane; a second layer comprising a gas-blocking membrane; and a third layer comprising a second ion-conducting membrane.

A metal substrate includes a first insulating substrate, a second insulating substrate, a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The first insulating substrate has a first modified surface and a second surface opposite to the first modified surface. The first metal layer faces the second surface. The second insulating substrate is bonded on the first modified surface, such that the first insulating substrate is between the second insulating substrate and the first metal layer. The second metal layer is disposed on a side of the second insulating substrate, such that the second insulating substrate is between the first modified surface and the second metal layer. An original surface roughness of the first modified surface has a variation substantially less than 10% after the first modified surface is released from the second insulating substrate.

It is provided that a laminated body having high adhesiveness between a resin layer and a metal layer without roughening the surface of the resin layer or the metal layer or providing an intermediate layer between the resin layer and the metal layer.
