A temporary protective coating for heat treatable coated glass article includes acrylic monomers or solid particle reinforced acrylic monomers is disclosed. The temporary protective coating of the present disclosure is completely devoid of oligomeric acrylates. The temporary protective coating is applied directly over a functionally coated transparent substrate to protect the coated substrate during heat treatment and handling of the coated substrate before heat treatment. The temporary protective coating is completely removed during the heat treatment leaving behind no residues thereby keeping the physical properties of the functionally coated substrate intact.

According to this method, a fatty acid of CnH.sub.2nO.sub.2 (n=5 to 14) is mixed with a plurality of metal sources selected from Zn, In, Sn, Sb, and Al, thereby fatty acid metal salts are obtained, subsequently the fatty acid metal salts are heated at 130° C. to 250° C., and a metal soap that is a precursor is obtained. This precursor is heated at 200° C. to 350° C., and metal oxide primary particles are dispersed in the precursor melt. To this dispersion liquid, a washing solvent having a δP value higher by 5 to 12 than the δP value of the Hansen solubility parameter of the final dispersing solvent is added, thereby the metal oxide primary particles are washed and agglomerated, metal oxide secondary particles are obtained, and then washing is repeated.

The disclosure relates to a hydrophobic window. The hydrophobic window includes a frame; a glass embedded in the frame; and a hydrophobic film on a surface of the glass. The hydrophobic film comprises a flexible substrate and a hydrophobic layer. The flexible substrate comprises a flexible base and a patterned first bulge layer on a surface of the flexible base. The hydrophobic layer is on the surface of the patterned first bulge layer.

A glass backplane includes a tempered glass substrate, a light-shielding layer and a reflective layer. Two opposite sides of the tempered glass substrate are a first side and a second side. The light-shielding layer is disposed on the first side of the tempered glass substrate, two opposite sides of the light-shielding layer are a first side and a second side, and the second side of the light-shielding layer is closer to the tempered glass substrate than the first side of the light-shielding layer. The reflective layer is disposed at the first side of the light-shielding layer.

In this invention, electrolytic, photochemical, chemical, and encapsulation processes can be used to achieve substantially completely stable doped carbon nanotubes. Preferred CNT structures and morphologies for achieving maximum doping effects are also described. Dopant formulations and methods for achieving doping of a broad distribution of tube types are also described.

In a characteristic way, the coating is generated from at least one loaded polysilsesquioxane resin; the at least one polysilsesquioxane resin not containing any aryl radical in its structure.

Embodiments of a article including include a substrate and a patterned coating are provided. In one or more embodiments, when a strain is applied to the article, the article exhibits a failure strain of 0.5% or greater. Patterned coating may include a particulate coating or may include a discontinuous coating. The patterned coating of some embodiments may cover about 20% to about 75% of the surface area of the substrate. Methods for forming such articles are also provided.

A float bath coating system includes at least one nanoparticle coater located in a float bath. The at least one nanoparticle coater includes a housing, a nanoparticle discharge slot, a first combustion slot, and a second combustion slot. The nanoparticle discharge slot is connected to a nanoparticle source and a carrier fluid source. The first combustion slot is connected to a fuel source and an oxidizer source. The second combustion slot is connected to a fuel source and an oxidizer source.

The present invention relates to silicon-compound-coated fine metal particles, with which surfaces of fine metal particles, composed of at least one type of metal element or metalloid element, are at least partially coated with a silicon compound and a ratio of Si—OH bonds contained in the silicon-compound-coated fine metal particles is controlled to be 0.1% or more and 70% or less. By the present invention, silicon-compound-coated fine metal particles that are controlled in dispersibility and other properties can be provided by controlling the ratio of Si—OH bonds or the ratio of Si—OH bonds/Si—O bonds contained in the silicon-compound-coated fine metal particles. By controlling the ratio of Si—OH bonds or the ratio of Si—OH bonds/Si—O bonds, a composition that is more appropriate for diversifying applications and targeted properties of silicon-compound-coated fine metal particles than was conventionally possible can be designed easily.

A curved glass manufacturing method includes: successively stacking a lower mold, flat glass, and an upper mold, thereby forming a mold assembly; moving the mold assembly to a first chamber and then heating the same; moving the mold assembly from the first chamber to a second chamber and then pressurizing the upper mold so as to move the upper mold downward, thereby molding the flat glass in a curved shape; moving the mold assembly from the second chamber to a third chamber and then slowly cooling the molded glass; and moving the mold assembly from the third chamber to a fourth chamber and then cooling the molded glass. An elastic member is arranged between the lower mold and the upper mold and configured to define a space between the upper mold and the flat glass, and the elastic member is compressed when the upper mold is pressurized.
