  • Patent number: 11359280
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing or curing a substrate, the apparatus comprising: a support (102) arranged to transport a moving flexible substrate (104), a plasma generator (110) arranged to generate plasma (112), a magnet array (114) arranged to spatially define the plasma, wherein the magnet array comprises: a first elongate magnet (404) having a first polarity; a second elongate magnet (406), substantially parallel to the first elongate magnet, having a second polarity, opposite to the first polarity, such that the first and second elongate magnets define a first straight magnetic flux portion (204); a third elongate magnet (408), substantially parallel to the first elongate magnet, having the first polarity, such that the second and third elongate magnets define a second straight magnetic flux portion, connected to the first straight magnetic flux portion by a first curved magnetic flux portion (206); a fourth elongate magnet (410), substantially parallel to the first elongate magnet, having the second polari

  • Publication number: 20170327693
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition for in vacuo coating of a substrate, the composition comprising: at least 50% by weight an acrylate monomer or an oligomer formed from the acrylate monomer, the acrylate monomer having the formula H2C?CHCO2CH2CH(OH)R, where R is an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or heteroaryl; and 0.5 to 15% by weight an adhesion promoter. The present invention also related to uses of the composition and methods of coating a substrate in vacuo using the composition.
