The present disclosure is related to a method of manufacturing a display substrate. The method may include forming a pattern layer (100, 200) on a base substrate (300) and forming a first planarization layer (500). The pattern layer (100, 200) may include at least one recess (105). Forming the first planarization layer (500) may include forming a pre-polymerized solution (501) at least in the recess (105) and polymerizing the pre-polymerized solution (501) in the recess (105) to form the first planarization layer (500).

An overlay film-forming composition used to cause phase separation to a block copolymer-containing layer formed on a substrate, the composition including: (A) a copolymer that includes (a) a unit structure derived from maleimide structure and a unit structure derived from styrene structure; and (B) an ether compound having 8-16 carbon atoms as a solvent. The overlay film-forming composition exhibits good solubility with respect to a hydrophobic solvent, and is able to induce vertical alignment of a block copolymer without causing dissolution, swelling, and the like of the block copolymer-containing layer formed on the substrate.

A method for applying an ultraviolet curable coating material and a method for producing an ultraviolet cured film include the steps of: supplying an ultraviolet curable coating material containing an ultraviolet curable acrylic monomer into a mixer under a condition of greater than or equal to 8 MPa without diluting the ultraviolet curable coating material with an organic solvent; supplying carbon dioxide with a critical pressure or more into the mixer; mixing the ultraviolet curable coating material and the carbon dioxide supplied into the mixer to form a mixed fluid; spraying the mixed fluid under a condition of a critical pressure or more of the carbon dioxide to form a coating film; and irradiating the coating film with ultraviolet rays to form an ultraviolet cured film.

Some variations provide a method of forming a transparent icephobic coating, comprising: obtaining a hardenable precursor comprising a first component and a plurality of inclusions containing a second component, wherein one of the first component or the second component is a low-surface-energy polymer, and the other is a hygroscopic material; applying mechanical shear and/or sonication to the hardenable precursor; disposing the hardenable precursor onto a substrate; and curing the hardenable precursor to form a transparent icephobic coating. The coating contains a hardened continuous matrix containing regions of the first component separated from regions of the second component on an average length scale of phase inhomogeneity from 10 nanometers to 10 microns, such as less than 1 micron, or less than 100 nanometers. The transparent icephobic coating may be characterized by a light transmittance of at least 50% at wavelengths from 400 nm to 800 nm, through a 100-micron coating.

The invention provides a paint immersing process for insulating paper, comprising the following steps: step 1, adding insulating paint in a container to blend paint; step 2, drying a base band of the insulating paper; step 3, entirely immersing the processed base band of the insulating paper into the insulating paint; or spraying the insulating paint onto the base band to cover the surface thereof; and step 4, taking out the base band to dry at controlled temperature till solidifying the insulating paint and the base band of the insulating paper. The paint immersing process is simple and practical to operate. The base band can directly cover a conductor as an insulator. As the insulating paint has a certain adhesive property, the structure of conductor with the insulating paper becomes more stable. After the conductor is wound into a coil, free of another immersing process, simplifying production.

The present disclosure relates to multi-layered elastomer-based liners. In at least one embodiment, a coated substrate includes a substrate and a first elastomer coating disposed on the substrate. The first elastomer coating is substantially free of sulfur and includes a first elastomer selected from the group consisting of a polyurea, a polyurethane, a polyurea-polyurethane copolymer, and combinations thereof. The coated substrate includes a second elastomer coating disposed on the first coating. The second elastomer coating includes a second elastomer selected from the group consisting of a polyurea, a polyurethane, a polyurea-polyurethane copolymer, and combinations thereof. The first elastomer is the same as or different than the second elastomer and at least one of the first elastomer or the second elastomer is a polyurea-polyurethane copolymer.

Applicant discloses a novel method of spray applying multiple courses of a rapid cure, two part polymer sealant to an aircraft surface. The method sometimes uses a two part polymer mix for use in the aircraft industry that is applied with pneumatic mix and spray gun. The two part cartridge is used in the mix and spray gun so the mix is applied immediately upon mixing, but the two components are kept separated unless the gun is applying the mix. The multiple courses cure to form a clear sealant that allows for inspection of cracks and corrosion beneath the sealant. It cures quickly so that the coated part may be further processed, for example in the assembly line during aircraft build. Applicant further discloses multiple spray gun systems for applying such a two-part polymer mix to aircraft parts.

Provided is a method for providing a substrate with an ablative coating using a one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition. The one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition is generally thixotropic and cures in depth within 24 hours to provide an ablative or thermal protective layer on an article. The one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition is substantially free from diluents or solvents. An article having such a coating and the use of the one-part room temperature curable and sprayable ablative silicone composition in the preparation of such an article are also provided.
