By configuring a resin sheet including hairlike bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of an underlayer in which a continuous phase is formed without any structural boundary between the underlayer and the hairlike bodies, and the underlayer and the hairlike bodies have at least partially a crosslinked structure, a molded product expressing a good tactile sensation is obtained.

An imprint apparatus executes an imprint process for shaping an imprint material by using a mold. The apparatus includes a controller which obtains first height distribution information indicating a height distribution of a surface of a first substrate, and a measuring device which obtains second height distribution information indicating a height distribution of a surface of a second substrate. The controller controls the imprint process based on corrected height distribution information which is obtained by removing a first component that is an approximation function, of an order not more than a first predetermined order, for approximating the first height distribution information, from the first height distribution information, and a second component which is an approximation function, of an order not more than a second predetermined order, for approximating the second height distribution information.

Rz1(a)>1.1×Rz2(a)  (1)
3>Rz2(a)  (2), a value obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the 10-point average roughness of the surface A by Rz1(a) and a value obtained by dividing the standard deviation of the 10-point average roughness of the surface B by Rz2(a) are each 0 to 0.30, a viscosity of a toluene/ethanol (1:1, mass ratio) solution containing 10%-by-mass of a polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the polyvinyl acetal resin material, which is measured at 20° C. and 30 rpm using a Brookfield-type (B-type) viscometer, is 100 to 1,000 mPa.Math.s, and the amount of a plasticizer in the polyvinyl acetal resin film is 0 to 20% by mass based on a total mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin film.

The disclosure provides a micro-groove drag reduction flexible film and a preparation method thereof. The micro-groove film has a triangular groove structure on the upper surface along the direction of an air flow, and an adhesive layer on the lower surface for quick adhesion to an aircraft surface. After the surface of the aircraft is covered with a micro-groove film, it could limit the spanwise movement of the bottom air at the boundary layer of the aircraft surface, improve the flow field characteristics of the aircraft near the wall, and effectively reduce the frictional resistance of the wall. The micro-groove flexible film is prepared by a roller hot pressing method. The triangular groove structure is processed on the surface of the mold roller of the double roller hot press. After pretreatment of the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) polymer film, a micro-groove structure is hot-pressed on the surface of the TPU film.

The invention relates to a decorative panel and to a method for producing a decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, wall panel or ceiling panel. The method comprises the steps of providing at least one decorative panel, the panel comprising a core layer comprising an upper surface and a bottom surface, applying at least one uncured coating onto the upper surface of the panel such that a coating layer is formed, creating a surface texture in the coating layer and curing the coating layer via UV curing.

A method for forming a relief layer employing a stamp having a stamping surface including a template relief pattern. A solution comprising a siliconoxide compound is sandwiched between a substrate surface and the stamp surface and dried while sandwiched. After removal of the template relief pattern the relief layer obtained has a high inorganic mass content making it robust and directly usable for a number of applications such as semiconductor, optical or micromechanical.

A periodontal tissue regeneration inducer and an apparatus and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The periodontal tissue regeneration inducer includes a sheet body formed of a flexible material, and a pattern layer having a pattern formed therein to facilitate bone formation or regeneration on a surface of the sheet body. Therefore, the periodontal tissue regeneration inducer and the apparatus and method for manufacturing the same have an advantage in that the bone formation or regeneration may be facilitated during implant surgery because the membrane sheet is composed of a polycaprolactone (PCL) material and a nanopattern is formed on a surface of the pattern layer.

This molding apparatus is intended for the manufacturing of a molded article from a raw material intended to be arranged in a first region of an embossing chamber of the molding apparatus. The embossing chamber includes a mold and a counter-mold, the molds being arranged on two opposite sides of the first region. The molding apparatus further includes a second chamber having a common wall with the embossing chamber and a pressurization system configured to generate a predefined pressure differential between the embossing chamber and the second chamber, the common wall including at least one embossing actuator, the embossing actuator being configured to generate a movement of at least one of the molds so as to mold the raw material when a predefined pressure differential is applied.

An imprint apparatus forms a pattern of a resin on a region to be processed of a substrate using a mold including a pattern region on which a pattern is formed and includes a correction unit configured to correct a shape of a target region that is either the pattern region on the mold or the region to be processed on the substrate, wherein the correction unit further includes: a heating unit configured to heat an object corresponding to the target region of either the mold or the substrate in a heating region having an area smaller than that of the pattern region on the mold; a scanning unit configured to scan the heating region with respect to the target region by changing the relative position of the target region and the heating region; and a control unit configured to acquire information regarding a correction deformation amount of the target region and control the heating unit and the scanning unit based on the information.
