Abstract:
Composite coatings are provided having a variable thickness and a coloration gradient in the cross-web direction using shims to direct flow in a premetered extrusion extrusion process and an edge band is used to provide stability to the bead. Further stability is provided by a vacuum gradient matched to the specific shim design used. The composite coatings are useful in preparing laminated structures such as automobile windshields with a gradient band.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for vapor phase deposition of a reactive surface area (RSA) material onto a substrate of an electronic device. The vapor phase deposition is conducted at ambient pressures in air, and provides capture of residual vapor to minimize environmental release of RSA and other constituents used in the processing.
