A new or improved process for the surface coating of articles by dipping

In the process of coating articles by dipping them in a bath containing a film of coating liquid floated upon an underlying medium, different colouring effects and different thicknesses of coating film are obtained by varying the relative viscosities of the underlying medium and the coating liquid. Suitable coating liquids are cellulose ester lacquers, oil varnishes and synthetic resin lacquers, and suitable underlying media are aqueous solutions of sodium silicate, glucose, isinglass, agar-agar or iceland moss, or gelatine liquefied by sodium salicylate. A specified coating lacquer consists of toluol, xylol, methylated spirit, benzole, cyclohexanone, amyl acetate, cyclohexanol oxalate, nitro-cellulose cotton, and ester gum. If the coating liquid has any affinity for or deleterious action upon the underlying medium, an interface layer of another liquid, e.g. a paraffinic oil of an intermediate specific gravity, may be interposed.

Method of coating the surface of an object with a paint design

A method of using compositions and kits for preparing a marbleized coating on the surface of a sheet or object involves floating multiple colour coating materials on the surface of water and dipping the sheet or object directly into this two phase liquid system. The colour coating forms its own design on the water surface and does not need to be moved around or it can be changed. The resulting sheet or object is coated with a marbleized coating which is flexible and permanent. The water is conditioned with cream of tartar or a similar non-toxic substance and tested prior to carrying out the coating method.

Improvements in or relating to process for applying protective coatings to the innersurfaces of tanks and vessels

Protective coatings are applied to the inner surfaces of tanks and vessels by introducing thereinto a fluent coating composition comprising a petroleum residuum from an asphaltic crude containing a surface active agent which substantially increases the adhesivity of petroleum residua to metal surfaces, confers upon them an affinity for metal surfaces greater than that of water, and promotes water repellency of such residua, floating the coating composition on the surface of a body of water in the tank or vessel as a uniform surface layer contacting the confining surfaces thereof at its margins, and altering the surface level of the water substantially to effect substantial surface coating of the tank or vessel interior thus contacted by the coating material. Petroleum residua cut back to a Saybolt-Furol viscosity of 25 to 50 seconds at 122 DEG F. with a liquid petroleum oil, e.g. a light lubricating distillate having a Saybolt-Universal viscosity of 100 seconds at 100 DEG F., are preferred ...

A method of applying variegated or "jazz" colourings to the surfaces of articles

Variegated colouring is applied to the surface of an article such as a rubber or other ball by bringing it into contact with or passing it through the surface of a liquid to which has been applied one or more liquid colouring-materials, the liquid being immiscible with the colouring-material and acting to split up the colouring-material into a number of parts and cause the parts to be dispersed, as distinct from a spreading-action wherein the material remains as a continuous film. The colouring-materials may consist of pigments or dyes in rubber solution, oils, varnishes, cellulose, spirit, or the like, and the liquid may be water rendered alkaline as by the addition of a small amount of washing-soda.

Method of preparing thin crystal or film

A stratum of mercury is formed in an atmosphere, for example, helium gas. A liquid material is dropped to the surface of the mercury stratum. Since the surface tension of the mercury is larger than that of the liquid material, the liquid material rapidly spreads over the surface of the mercury stratum. As a result, a film is formed or a crystal grows on the surface of the mercury stratum. A DC voltage is applied between the liquid material and the mercury stratum. The resultant capillary electrical phenomenon momentarily spreads the liquid material over the surface of the mercury stratum. Thus, a good film is formed or a good crystal grows.

Method for forming semiconducting polymer thin films using floating-non-solvent method

본 발명은 비용매 플로팅법을 이용한 반도체 고분자 박막의 형성 방법에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 폴리사이오펜을 고밀도 염소화 양용매에 용해시키고 하부에 위치시키는 단계; 상기 용액 표면 위에 비용매를 위치시켜 상분리에 의하여 2 상(bi-phasic) 용액 시스템을 형성시키는 단계;및 상기 2 상 용액 시스템에 기판을 담그고 인출하는 단계를 포함하는 비용매 플로팅법을 이용한 고분자 박막의 형성 방법을 제공한다. FNS 시스템은 폴리(3-헥실티오펜)(P3HT) 용액을 안정적으로 다루고, 나노피브릴을 성장시키고, 생성된 박막에서 향상된 전계효과 이동성을 달성하는 데 사용되었다. FNS 시스템에서 비용매의 확산으로 인하여 폴리사이오펜 결정화를 유도하였으며, 이는 FNS 시스템의 숙성 시간이 증가함에 따라 폴리사이펜의 결정화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 상기 숙성 시간은 3 ~ 12시간인 것을 특징으로 한다. FNS-ACN/CF의 경우에 7시간, FNS-DMSO/CF의 경우에는 10시간의 숙성 시간에서 가장 높은 결정도를 나타냈다. 또한, 두 용매 사이의 한센 용해도 매개 변수(Hansen solubility parameter, HSP)의 차이가 P3HT 결정체의 발달에 크게 영향을 미치며, HSP의 차이가 클수록 비용매의 확산속도가 감소하고 P3HT 결정화가 지연되는 것을 확인하였다.  The present invention relates to a method for forming a semiconductor polymer thin film using a non-solvent floating method, and more specifically, a step of dissolving polythiophene in a high-density chlorinated good solvent and placing it underneath; Positioning a non-solvent on the solution surface to form a bi-phasic solution system by phase separation; and polymer thin film using a non-solvent floating method comprising dipping and drawing a substrate into the two-phase solution system It provides a method of formation. The FNS system was used to stably handle poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) solutions, grow nanofibrils, and achieve improved field effect mobility in the resulting thin films. In the FNS system, polythiophene crystallization was induced due to diffusion of non-solvent, and it was confirmed that the crystallinity of polycypene increased as the aging time of the FNS system increased. The aging time is characterized in that 3 to 12 hours. In the case of FNS-ACN / CF, the highest crystallinity was obtained in the aging time of 7 hours and in the case of FNS-DMSO / CF. In addition, it was confirmed that the difference in Hansen solubility parameter (HSP) between the two solvents greatly influences the development of P3HT crystals, and the larger the difference in HSP, the faster the diffusion ...
