A method of forming a conductive film. The method includes applying an ink onto a substrate. The ink includes a plurality of nanostructures formed from an electrically-conductive material and a polymer binder. The method includes drying the ink on the substrate. The method includes applying an overcoat material solution onto the dried ink. The overcoat solution includes at least some solvent suitable to provide at least some solubility of the binder. Also, a conductive film that includes a substrate, a matrix on the substrate, and a plurality of nanostructures within the matrix. The matrix is provided as a resultant of a polymer binder present within an ink that carried the nanostructures that was applied and dried upon the substrate, a dried/cured overcoat material that that was applied on the dried ink layer in the form of a coating solution that included a polymer and at least some solvent to provide at least some solubility of the binder, with the binder being at least partially dissolved.

The present invention aims at providing a coating film excellent in water repellency and oil repellency and further excellent in wear resistance, and a layered body comprising said coating film formed on a base material and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention provides a coating film having at least an outermost surface layer (M) and a layer (K1) in contact with the layer (M), wherein a density of the layer (M) is 0.7 g/cm.sup.3 or more and less than 1.0 g/cm.sup.3, and a density of the layer (K1) is 1.0 g/cm.sup.3 or more and less than 2.2 g/cm.sup.3. The layer (M) preferably has a polydimethylsiloxane skeleton and/or a trialkylsilyl group.

A method for manufacturing an environmental-friendly heat shielding film using a non-radioactive stable isotope includes: a substrate layer providing step of providing a substrate layer; and a heat shielding layer forming step of, after the substrate layer providing step, forming, on one surface of the substrate layer, a heat shielding layer containing a non-radioactive stable isotope tungsten bronze compound that does not emit radiation.

A hydrophilic coating composition and a hydrophilic coating method using the same are disclosed. The hydrophilic coating composition can include a first coating solution, a second coating solution, and a crosslinking agent. The first coating solution includes a polyurethane-based compound, and the second coating solution includes a polysaccharide. The coating composition can provide a coating that is strongly hydrophilic, highly biocompatible, thin, and flexible. Thus, when the coating composition is applied to an invasive medical device, lubricity can be greatly increased, thereby preventing damage to the human body, such as injury, tissue abrasion and the like.
