A double coating, curing method, cured coating, and kit are provided. A first layer of the double coating can be a first cure coating composition, which has a first hydroxy-functional resin, a first crosslinking agent, and a first catalyst. A second layer of a second cure coating composition can have a low hydrophilicity acrylic resin as a second hydroxy-functional resin, a second crosslinking agent, and a second catalyst. The first catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The second catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The first and/or second hydroxy functional resins can facilitate catalyst migration from one layer to the other. The separate compositions can be shelf-stable and/or the curing can occur at low temperature.

The present invention is an implantable medical device comprising (i) a base coat layer having an inner and outer surface, the inner surface of the base coat layer contacting the implantable medical device; (ii) a top-coat layer of a hydrophilic polymer chemically crosslinked and covalently bonded to the outer surface of the base coat layer, the hydrophilic polymer comprising an anionic polyelectrolyte; and (iii) an amount of a hydrophilic cationic drug agent added to the top-coat layer sufficient to provide an effective dosage of the drug agent for delivery to a patient, whereby the hydrophilic cationic drug agent is initially adsorbed into the anionic polyelectrolyte of the top-coat layer and the hydrophilic cationic drug agent having a release rate after the medical device is implanted within a patient's body.

A coupling is provided for the connecting of lines and includes a first coupling disc with first line connectors and a second coupling disc with second line connectors. Moreover, a first drive is provided in order to be able to move the two coupling discs axially with respect to each other. Moreover, a second drive is provided in order to be able to rotate the two coupling discs with respect to each other.

A composition and method for a microtexture hydrophobic or superhydrophobic coating. The microtexture coating includes a coating layer disposed on a substrate with hydrophobic or superhydrophobic particles dispersed on top of or partially embedded in the coating layer to form an outer layer. The outer layer exhibits water repellant properties. Use of the microtexture coating permits large scale, durable hydrophobic or superhydrophobic coating applications. The microtexture coating is a useful for application on wind turbines, airplanes, solar panels, windows, or cooling systems.
