A substrate for use in an electronic skin is disclosed herein. The substrate comprises a base polymer layer, and a first intermediate polymer layer attached to the base polymer layer by a first adhesive layer. The first intermediate polymer layer comprises a first intermediate polymer in which electron-rich groups are linked directly to one another or by optionally substituted C.sub.1-4 alkanediyl groups. A first conductive layer is attached to the first intermediate polymer layer by a second adhesive layer or by multiple second adhesive layers between which a second intermediate polymer layer or a second conductive layer is disposed.

A method for producing an abrasion-resistant wood-based panel having a top side and a bottom side, with at least one decorative layer arranged on the top side, in particular with a structure synchronous with the decoration, is disclosed herein.

A method for preparing a bifunctional film, including: (a) drying a first polymer solution to form a film to form an anti-adhesion layer; and (b) drying a second polymer solution over the anti-adhesion layer to form a film to form an attachment layer. The first polymer solution includes a first hydrophobic solution and a first hydrophilic solution, and in the first polymer solution, the weight ratio of the solute of the first hydrophobic solution to the solute of the first hydrophilic solution is 1:0.01-1. Moreover, the second polymer solution consists of a second hydrophilic solution.

Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

A substrate processing apparatus includes: a rotation support table capable of supporting and rotating a substrate; a chemical liquid nozzle that is arranged above an outer edge portion of the substrate that is supported by the rotation support table, and through which a chemical liquid is applied to the outer edge portion; and a solidified film forming unit that is arranged at least either on an upper side or on a lower side of the outer edge portion of the substrate that is supported by the rotation support table, and on a downstream side, in a direction of rotation of the substrate, of a position where the chemical liquid nozzle is arranged, and solidifies the chemical liquid applied to the outer edge portion, to form a solidified film that forms a part of an annular film.
