Publication number: 20130004755Abstract: A chromium-free fluoropolymer-containing primer composition, which can provide a coated article having excellent higher corrosion resistance by forming a fluoropolymer coating film, and a primer layer having sufficient adhesive strength to the fluoropolymer coating film on the surface of a substrate such as metal, glass, ceramic and heat resistant plastics, a method for manufacturing a coating film using the same, and a coated article using the same. The coating composition contains at least one kind of a fluoropolymer component selected from a reactive functional group-containing fluoropolymer, and a fluoropolymer having a melt flow rate (MFR), measured under a load of 5 kg and at 372° C., in accordance with ASTM D1238, of 10 to 100 g/10 minutes, and an organic titanate, wherein content of titanium contained in the organic titanate, relative to the fluoropolymer component, is 1 to 40% by weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2011Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicants: DU PONT-MITSUI FLUOROCHEMICALS CO., LTD.,, NIPPON FUSSO CO., LTD.Inventors: Naoki Fukumura, Masahiro Takeyama, Ryo Nakazawa -
Patent number: 8343585Abstract: Mechanisms for coating surfaces of materials, the resulting coated materials, and solutions for use in material-coating processes are described. Triblock molecule components may be selected for desired properties. When applied in solution to a material, the molecules self-assemble into similarly oriented micro- or nanostructures coating the surface of the material. Various molecule properties can be tailored to produce a range of desirable surface coating properties. The surface coating may optionally be self cleaning if selected to be appropriately hydrophobic, allowing water and particulates to roll off of the surface with minimal friction.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Empire Technology Development LLCInventor: Janelle Gunther

Patent number: 8334019Abstract: The invention relates to a method of depositing a layer of material onto the surface of an object, of the type comprising the deposition of a layer of solution of said material in a first liquid followed by the evaporation of the first liquid to form the layer of material. According to the invention, the method comprises the formation of a layer of a second liquid interposed between the object and the layer of solution, the second liquid being immiscible with the first liquid, of density greater than that of the first liquid and with an evaporating temperature higher than that of the first liquid.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Commissariat à l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Mohamed Benwadih, Marie Heitzmann, Jean-Marie Verilhac

Patent number: 8329299Abstract: A method for depositing sol-gel derived coatings on substrates to form coated substrates includes the steps of providing a first solution including at least one sol precursor and at least one solvent. A water comprising solution is added to the first solution to form a sol-gel. The sol-gel is deposited on a substrate. The sol-gel layer on the substrate is dried/cured at a temperature ?100° C. for at least 10 minutes to form a solid layer, wherein the solid layer has a thickness from 50 nm to 110 nm. The depositing and curing steps are repeated at least once until combined thickness of the solid layers forms a coating of a predetermined thickness. The resulting solid layers are low water content layers that can be evidenced by transmission measurements. The coated substrate can be an IR transmissive substrate having a recrystallization temperature <130° C.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignees: University of Central Florida Research Foundation, Inc., Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire ControlInventors: Sudipta Seal, Erik R.

Patent number: 8316526Abstract: The present invention provides electroactive polymers, transducers and devices that maintain pre-strain in one or more portions of an electroactive polymer. Electroactive polymers described herein may include a pre-strained portion and a stiffened portion configured to maintain pre-strain in the pre-strained portion. One fabrication technique applies pre-strain to a partially cured electroactive polymer. The partially cured polymer is then further cured to stiffen and maintain the pre-strain. In another fabrication technique, a support layer is coupled to the polymer that maintains pre-strain in a portion of an electroactive polymer. Another embodiment of the invention cures a polymer precursor to maintain pre-strain in an electroactive polymer.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: SRI InternationalInventors: Qibing Pei, Ronald E.
