Abstract:
The present disclosure features processes and equipment for forming a variety of textured materials, including both release webs, and finished products such as flooring materials, wall coverings, textured laminates and the like. The processes described herein allow curing radiation to be passed through a texturing medium, rather than through the substrate to which the curable material is applied.

Abstract:
Methods are provided for manufacturing electronic devices such as transistors, solar arrays, optical display arrays, portions of such devices and arrays, and the like. The methods involve providing a substrate having a surface with a pattern of raised portions and recessed portions, adding a conductive material to the surface of the substrate, and manipulating the surface of the substrate to provide the conductive material only in the recessed portions.
Abstract:
Methods are disclosed for manufacturing electronic devices (e.g., transistors, and etc.), solar arrays, optical display arrays, portions of such devices and arrays, and the like. The method involves preparing substrate pre-forms comprising a pattern of raised and recessed areas. Utilizing a scrape coating and/or a tip printing process, various electronic and solar arrays are manufactured.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for manufacturing sheet-form products which carry an embossed texture and a printed pattern in register with the embossed texture. One method includes (a) providing a sheet-form substrate having a surface; (b) providing an embossing medium carrying an embossed pattern defining raised portions and recessed portions; (c) applying an ink to the raised portions of the embossed pattern; (d) transferring the ink from the embossing medium to the surface of the substrate, and (e) applying pressure to the embossing medium and substrate to impart the inverse of the embossed pattern to the surface of the substrate to form the sheet-form product. Sheet-form products are also provided.
