The present invention relates to the use of flake-form effect pigments for increasing the infrared reflection of a dark or black layer composite, consisting of a substrate and a coating on the substrate, and to a dark or black layer composite of this type which has increased infrared reflection, in particular in the near infrared (NIR), compared with conventional dark or black layer composites which comprise only carbon-containing black pigments.

A coating for a substrate includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a first liquid silicone rubber, carbon nanotubes at a concentration of at least about 0.5% by weight of the first portion, and at least one ferrite-containing component chosen from carbon ferrite and nickel manganese ferrite. The second portion includes a second liquid silicone rubber, carbon nanotubes at a concentration of at least about 0.5% by weight of the second portion, and at least one ferrite-containing component chosen from carbon ferrite and nickel manganese ferrite. Methods of producing the coating are also disclosed.

This patent document discloses a method of fabricating an electrically conductive fiber coated with polythiophene and a carbon material. The low-cost method is amenable to modifications to suit the practical needs in various applications.

Provided are a flexible window film and a display apparatus comprising same, the flexible window film having a substrate layer, a buffer layer and a hard coating layer that are sequentially layered, wherein the buffer layer comprises, in a thickness direction, a first area in which the amount of an amide group gradually increases from the interface between the hard coating layer and the buffer layer, and a second area in which the amount of an amide group gradually decreases from the interface between the substrate layer and the buffer layer.

A novel polymer mixture having fast drying time, and good tensile strength and elongation at break properties, a multilayer article comprising a base layer made from the polymer mixture and a top layer, and a method of preparing the multilayer article.

A segmented diving suit includes a base layer and a plurality of composite plates arranged on the base layer in a configuration designed to avoid joints or other anatomical features that bend. The composite plates include a spheres or microspheres dispersed/embedded in a carrier polymer. The spheres or microspheres provide one or more of thermal protection, sonic/blast resistance, and ballistic protection.

A composition is provided that restores and protects substrates to which it is applied including trim, headlight, or tires on vehicles. The composition includes reactive silicone silanes, graphene, and an adhesion promoter all dissolved or dispersed in a carrier oil or solvent. The composition forms a high adhesion high cohesion film that protects the underlying substrate from the adverse effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays, heat, rain, snow, and other environmental contaminants. A process of applying the same is also provided.

This disclosure generally relates to compositions with omniphobic properties, and methods of preparing the compositions thereof. The omniphobic compositions can be used as coatings to make omniphobic materials, which can be used to manufacture a variety of apparatuses such as wearable devices, e.g., hearing aids.

Provided is an antistatic polyimide-based film. More particularly, as an antistatic polyimide-based film for a window cover for protecting a surface of a display device, a window cover film having a protective film formed on the polyimide-based film provides an improvement to a problem of not being used as a film for a display window cover because a portion of the protective film remains on a base layer or a hard coating layer without being peeled off due to static electricity in the protective film or the base layer, or a hard coating layer, or the hard coating layer is peeled off with some or all of the protective film when the protective film is peeled off.

The invention relates to a coating composition comprising:—a polymeric coating binder; wherein the polymeric coating binder has a glass temperature Tg of at least 0° C. and at most 30° C.;—at least one first filler, wherein the first filler comprises expanded polymeric microspheres; and, at least one second filler, wherein the second filler comprises expanded glass particles; wherein said coating composition comprises at least 0.1% by weight and at most 25% by weight of said at least one first filler and at least one second filler combined, based on the total weight of the composition. The invention also relates to the use of such a coating composition as an exterior wall masonry paint. The invention also relates a substrate having applied thereon such a coating composition.
