A tire has a material diffusion barrier, and a method produces the same. In an embodiment, a method for producing a material diffusion barrier on a tire comprises exposing a surface of the tire to a cationic solution to produce a cationic layer on the surface. The method further comprises exposing the cationic layer to an anionic solution to produce an anionic layer on the cationic layer, wherein a layer comprises the cationic layer and the anionic layer. The layer comprises the material diffusion barrier.

There is provided a coating for corrosion protection of metal objects, said coating comprising at least one cerium oxide and at least one polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide comprises 29 or less amino acid residues wherein at least 15% of the number of amino acid residues are DOPA. Advantages include a fast establishment of the corrosion protective properties in an applied coating.

An object is to coat a target position on a substrate with a dense film. In order to achieve the object, while a substrate on which a base containing a coating material is formed is transported, an auxiliary agent is applied to the substrate, and then a main agent containing a coating material is applied to the substrate to react the main agent with the auxiliary agent, so that a portion on the substrate where the base is formed is coated with the coating material.
