Publication number: 20100003509Abstract: In the method according to the invention for coating a plastic substrate with a transition layer, which particularly enables an improved bond of the optical functional layer system arranged above said transition layer to the plastic substrate lying underneath said transition layer, a polymerizable liquid is applied to a substrate surface of the plastic substrate to be coated, and said liquid is polymerized at that location, by irradiation with ultraviolet light, into a bonding agent which forms the transition layer. For this process, the plastic substrate passes consecutively through a high-pressure cleaning device (24), a spin-coating device (26), a UV-irradiation device (28), and a coating device (32) for applying the optical functional layer system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2008Publication date: January 7, 2010Inventors: Frank Breme, Alex Wetter

Patent number: 7629029Abstract: Compositions and methods of preparing functional thin films or surface coatings with low non-specific binding are described. The thin films contain specified functional groups and non-specific binding repellant components. The thin films are either covalently bound to or passively adsorbed to various solid substrates. The specified functional group provides specified activity for the thin film modified solid surfaces and non-specific binding repellant components significantly reduce the non-specific binding to the thin film modified solid surfaces. Non-specific binding repellant components do not affect specified functional group's activity in the thin films. In these methods, specified functional groups are anchored to the solid substrates through a spacer.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2004Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Accelr8 Technology CorporationInventors: Guoqiang Mao, Steven W.
