Abstract: A method and system for high-throughput screening of multiphase reactions are provided. In an exemplary embodiment the method includes the steps of sequentially loading a plurality of discrete combinations of reactants into a longitudinal reaction zone; reacting each of the combinations as it passes through the reaction zone to provide a continuously or an incrementally varying reaction product; and sequentially discharging the reaction product of each of combination from the reaction zone as reaction of each combination is completed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to curable acrylate coating compositions and coated articles resulting therefrom. The curable acrylate coating composition comprises at least two polyfunctional acrylate derivatives, at least one photoinitiator and at least one nanoscale filler.

Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a method and system are provided for analyzing the adhesion of a coating. The method comprises the steps of directing light into the coating, using an image detector to collect light and fluorescence images from the coating/substrate combination, and applying a set of analysis tests to the collected light and fluorescence images. In another aspect of the invention, a method and system are provided for quantitatively analyzing the spatially resolved curing condition of a coating. The method comprises the steps of providing a coating with a fluorophore that is responsive to a defined curing condition, applying the coating onto a substrate, and using the defined curing process to cure the coating. The method comprises the further steps of using an image detector to collect fluroescence image from the coating, and applying a set of analysis tests to the fluorescence image.
