  • Multilayer articles via wet-on-wet processing
    Patent number: 11826779
    Abstract: Wet-on-wet coating processes are provided to produce multilayer articles. First and second coating materials are sequentially applied on to a structured substrate surface to form a skin layer directly over the structured substrate surface and a bulk layer over the skin layer. The conformability of the skin layer can be adjusted to provide desired surface and bulk properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 28, 2023
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company

  • Method and apparatus for coating on baggy web
    Patent number: 11465172
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for applying coatings on a baggy web are provided. A Mayer rod and a back-up roll engage with each other to form a nip. The back-up roll has a deformable inner layer with a surface thereof covered by a deformable outer layer. The Mayer rod and the flexible web at a contacting area are impressed into the back-up roll with a machine-direction nip width W and a nip engagement depth D, which enables formation of a coating having a substantially uniform thickness.
