Patent number: 7939131Abstract: The present invention includes a method and a composition to form a layer on a substrate having uniform etch characteristics. To that end, the method includes controlling variations in the characteristics of a solid layer, such etch characteristics over the area of the solid layer as a function of the relative rates of evaporation of the liquid components that comprise the composition from which the solid layer is formed.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2004Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Molecular Imprints, Inc.Inventors: Frank Y. Xu, Christopher J. Mackay, Pankaj B. Lad, Ian M. McMackin, Van N. Truskett, Wesley D. Martin, Edward B. Fletcher, David C. Wang, Nicholas A. Stacey, Michael P. C. Watts

Publication number: 20110088841Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method of impregnating fibrous webs. An apparatus generally includes a volume of liquid curable resin having a liquid surface, and a liquid curable resin (310) saturated roll of fibrous web (320) at least partially submerged in the volume of resin. The apparatus is configured to unwind the liquid curable resin saturated roll of fibrous web such that the fibrous web separates from the roll of fibrous web below the liquid surface and forms a resin impregnated fibrous web.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: April 21, 2011Inventors: Kristin L. Thunhorst, Mikhail L. Pekurovsky
