  • Publication number: 20230149965
    Abstract: A method for applying thin film material onto a substrate comprises: forming microdroplets of a solvent and a solute material forming the thin film material; depositing the microdroplets on an upper surface of a micro-structured mesh, wherein the microdroplets are deposited to allow coalescing into droplets extending into the micro-structured mesh; and arranging a surface of the substrate in close relation to a bottom surface of the micro-structured mesh such that a capillary force draws liquid of the droplets onto the surface of the substrate, whereby forced dynamic wetting of the surface of the substrate is provided to form a liquid film on the surface of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20190307964
    Abstract: A plunger for a medical syringe includes a plunger body having a longitudinal axis, a lateral surface, a front side and a rear side, wherein a first sealing bead is associated with the front side of the plunger, the rear side is used for connecting to a plunger rod and, in addition, a front part of the plunger including the front side is covered with a film-like cover layer for otherwise separating the plunger from the medical substance in the use position. In addition, the cover layer be configured with different thicknesses, wherein the thickness is greatest in the region of the longitudinal axis and decreases radially outwards from the longitudinal axis.
