Method and system for fabricating glass-based nanostructures on large-area planar substrates, fibers, and textiles

A method for manufacturing glass-based micro- and nanostructure comprising the step of dewetting a thin-film glass layer on a textured substrate to form the micro- and nanostructure from the thin-film glass layer.

OPTICAL SHEET FORMING DEVICE AND OPTICAL SHEET FORMING METHOD

An extruding unit, a forming roll unit and a thick portion forming mechanism are provided. The extruding unit has an ejecting slit which ejects sheet-shaped molten resin. The ejecting slit includes a standard gap portion and an enlarged gap portion. The standard gap portion is formed as a gap having a constant size. The enlarged gap portion is formed as a gap larger than the standard gap portion in a position corresponding to a thick portion. The thick portion forming mechanism forms one or several thick portions which are thicker than other portion, in the sheet-shaped molten resin continuously in the extrusion direction.

Packaging container and film production

The invention relates to a packaging container (1, 2) for loose or free-flowing filling material, said packaging container consisting of plastic monofilm or composite film with at least one layer of plastic and forming, in a filled and closed form, a wrapping of the filling material with two mutually opposing main walls (3, 4) which act as bearing faces in a stack with other filled packaging containers and consist of thermoplastic, at least on the outer surfaces (15) thereof. The packaging container according to the invention is designed to be stackable in a non-slip manner but also easily removable from the stack and to this end, for practical production and processing, is designed such that the two surfaces (15) are embossed for a surface roughness having a roughness depth of 20-40 μm.
