The disclosed embodiment relates to a display apparatus that improves the coating method of a display apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof. In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a display apparatus includes a display panel configured to display an image and a frame coupled to surround the outside of the display panel, and the frame includes a base member, an upper coating layer coated on the upper part of the base member, a lower coating layer coated on the lower surface of the base member. According to the disclosed embodiment, cracks can be prevented from occurring during slitting, and excessive camber and twisting can be prevented.

Implantable pressure sensors and implantable electronics should be packaged in hermetically sealed modules with biocompatible surfaces before being implanted. Packaging designs should be compact and cause little to no interference with the mechanical (and optical) properties or functions of the implant. For a pressure sensor in an intraocular lens, this means that the sensor and packaging should allow the lens to be folded so that it can be implanted through a small incision in the eye. An inventive implantable pressure sensor is coated with a silicone elastomer and hermetically sealed by a multilayer coating of SiO.sub.x and Parylene C, which may also encapsulate other components, including a microcontroller or processor, rechargeable batteries, sensors, resistors, capacitors, wireless transceivers, and/or antennas mounted on a transparent substrate. This combination of silicone gel and multilayer coating isolates the pressure sensor from surrounding tissue while allowing the pressure sensor to measure pressure precisely and quickly.

Methods for producing cylindrical flexographic printing elements, the cylindrical flexographic printing elements having a relief-forming layer, and the relief-forming layer being produced by successive application of a plurality of layers of a relief-forming material in liquid melt form, preferably of a photopolymerizable material in liquid melt form, to a rotating cylindrical sleeve in a continuous process.

A multi-layered beauty care product is provided. The beauty care product has a layer of a water-soluble film zone with a water-soluble film forming polymer and a cosmetic composition with a skin active agent. The product also has a vapor-deposited coating. The vapor-deposited coating is a poly(p-xylylene) polymer and/or a metal oxide inorganic coating.

A superstrate can include a body, a first layer, and a second layer, wherein the first layer is disposed between the body and the second layer. Each of the first and second layers has a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, wherein the body is closer to the proximal surface than to the distal surface. An Ra of the distal surface of the second layer is less than an Ra of the distal surface of the first layer. In a method of making the superstrate, the relatively high Ra of the distal surface of the first layer may be related to the process or equipment used in forming the first layer. The second layer can be formed using another superstrate, where the Ra of the distal surface of the second layer is substantially the same as the contact surface of the other superstrate.

A two-component polyurethane coating composition is described. The composition includes a multifunctional isocyanate component and a multifunctional polyol component. The polyurethane described herein is an overindexed composition that may be used as a tiecoat in a conventional recoat or refinish process. The described composition provides improved adhesion between an aged coat and a newly applied coating.

The present invention deals with a process for producing a coated pipe. The process comprises (i) homopolymerising ethylene or copolymerising ethylene and an -olefin comonomer in a first polymerisation step in the presence of a polymerisation catalyst to produce a first ethylene homo- or copolymer having a density of from 940 to 980 kg/m.sup.3 and a melt flow rate MFR.sub.2 of from 1 to 2000 g/10 min; (ii) homopolymerising ethylene or copolymerising ethylene and an -olefin comonomer in a second polymerisation step in the presence of a first ethylene homo- or copolymer to produce a first ethylene polymer mixture comprising the first ethylene homo- or copolymer and a second ethylene homo- or copolymer, said first ethylene polymer mixture having a density of from 940 to 980 kg/m.sup.3 and a melt flow rate MFR.sub.2 of from 10 to 2000 g/10 min; (iii) copolymerising ethylene and an -olefin comonomer in a third polymerisation step in the presence of the first ethylene polymer mixture to produce a second ethylene polymer mixture comprising the first ethylene polymer mixture and a third ethylene copolymer, said second ethylene polymer mixture having a density of from 915 to 965 kg/m.sup.3, preferably from 930 to 955 kg/m.sup.3 and a melt flow rate MFR.sub.5 of from 0.2 to 10 g/10 min; (iv) providing a pipe having an outer surface layer; (v) applying a coating composition onto the pipe outer surface layer to form a top coat layer, wherein the coating composition comprises the second ethylene polymer mixture.

The invention includes a method for preparing and top coating an item made of powder coated MDF (or other substrate containing wood) with the end result of improved visual and tactile smoothness; the invention includes the steps of cutting and machining the part, pre-powder preparation and sanding of the part, powder coating the part, post-powder preparation and sanding, and applying the liquid top coat to the part, resulting in a smoother finish than is currently available in any other powder coated MDF finish while requiring less coats than similar liquid paint finishes.

For producing a dome-shaped element (2) provided with thermal protection for a solid propellant rocket engine, a coupling annular body (4) is arranged in a mold (5) and has a surface (20) that is clean and activated, by an atmospheric-pressure plasma treatment, before depositing a primer layer (26) and an adhesive layer (27) on the surface (20); ablative material is then automatically applied to the adhesive layer and to an area (17) of the mold (5) so as to form a series of superimposed layers (30).

The embodiments herein relate to a substrate coated with a multi-layer coating system including: optionally a primer layer applied to the substrate and deposited from a primer coating composition; a tie-coat layer applied to the substrate or to the optional primer layer, deposited from a tie-coat composition including a binder polymer obtainable by copolymerizing a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, the binder polymer having curable alkoxysilyl functional groups. The substrate can include a topcoat layer applied to the tie-coat layer, and deposited from a non-aqueous liquid foul release coating composition including a curable resin system including i) a curable polymer and optionally ii) a curing agent and/or a catalyst, where the non-aqueous liquid foul release coating composition is essentially free of a curable polysiloxane.
