A fixing belt includes: a base having an endless shape; and a resin layer covering a surface on an inner peripheral side of the base, the resin layer comprising a resin and a filler, and having a second surface opposite to a first surface facing the base, the second surface having cell structures, and being roughened with the filler. When arithmetic mean roughnesses of the second surface in the central region X and the end regions Y and Z are defined as RaX, RaY and RaZ respectively, a difference between RaX and RaY, a difference between RaY and RaZ, and a difference between RaX and RaZ are all 0.1 μm or smaller, and a coefficient of variation of areas of the cell structures contained in each of the central region X, and end regions Y and Z is 25% or smaller.

An aqueous emulsion is made by emulsion polymerizing at least one free-radically polymerizable monomer and one or more di- or higher-functional chain-extending monomers in the presence of an aqueous solution of an oligomer made from a mixture of free-radically polymerizable monomers including acid-functional free-radically polymerizable comonomers, adhesion-promoting free-radically polymerizable comonomers and other free-radically polymerizable comonomers. The aqueous emulsion is substantially free of adipic dihydrazide, has a minimum film forming temperature≤55° C., and on drying has a Koenig hardness of at least 40 sec.

An adhesion promoter for non-conductive surfaces is disclosed that combines a polyolefin with co-resins in a colloidal suspension in water. The colloidal suspension in water is prepared from mixing a solid-powder composition that includes the polyolefin and the co-resins with water. The colloidal suspension in water is applied to a low surface energy, non-conductive substrate, such as thermoplastic olefins, in order to make the substrates conductive for electrostatic painting.

There is provided herein a coating composition including an organic binder and a combination of a hydrolyzable or hydrolyzed polysiloxane and a epoxy-functional polysiloxane optionally with a hardener. There is also provided a paint including the same and a process of making the coating composition.

Disclosed are an ink composition for an electrophoresis apparatus including (A) a semiconductor nanorod; and (B) a solvent, wherein the solvent includes a compound wherein ‘the compound is composed of two axes whose lengths are different from each other, an axis having a longer length among the two axes has a symmetrical structure, an axis having a shorter length among the two axes has an asymmetric structure, both of the two axes include an ester group, and both ends of the two axes are each independently a C1 to C3 alkyl group or a hydroxy group’ and a display device manufactured using the ink composition for an electrophoresis apparatus.

A method for coating a substrate includes the steps of: forming a conductive coating layer on a surface of a substrate so as to form a semi-product; submerging a conductive sheet and the semi-product into an electrophoresis medium that includes charged colloid particles; and applying a voltage on the conductive sheet or the semi-product to form an electric field among the conductive sheet, the semi-product, and the electrophoresis medium, so that the colloid particles move along the electric field toward the semi-product and an electrophoretic covering layer formed by the charged colloid particles is thus deposited on the electrophoretic covering layer.
