  • Patent number: 10364528
    Abstract: A rope including a yarn twisted by using a raw thread of a polyethylene fiber having an ultrahigh molecular weight and a strand twisted by the yarn and subjected to rope-making through the strand, and a resin coating layer for protecting the rope is formed on an external surface of the yarn, an external surface of the strand or an external surface of the rope. A method of manufacturing the rope includes a pretreating step I of removing an oil content contained in the rope and performing an affinity enhancing treatment over a surface thereof and a resin coating step II of forming a resin coating layer for protecting the rope on an external surface of the yarn, an external surface of the strand or an external surface of the rope. The resin coating layer for protecting the rope is formed.

  • Patent number: 7153584
    Abstract: Hybrid films, such as those having good abrasion-resistance and defogging properties, antireflection films including it, optical products, and methods for restoring the defogging property of the hybrid films are disclosed. The hybrid films having a defogging property may be obtained through vapor deposition of an organic compound having a hydrophilic group and a reactive group along with silicon dioxide or with silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide. The antireflection film may be formed on a substrate having the hybrid film as the outermost layer opposite to the substrate. The optical product may comprise a plastic substrate and the antireflection film having the hybrid film. A method for restoring the defogging property of the hybrid film of the optical product may include washing the hybrid film.
