A carrier comprised of a core and thereover a polymer of (1) methylmethacrylate and a monoalkyl aminoalkyl methacrylate, or (2) a polymer of methylmethacrylate and dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate.

A carrier comprised of a core and a polymer coating of (1) styrene/monoalkylaminoalkyl methacrylate or (2) styrene/dialkylaminoalkyl methacrylate.

A varistor includes a varistor element, a first layer which is porous on the varistor element, and a second layer on th first coating. The thickness t (mm) of the second layer is not smaller than 1.3/V. where V(ml/g) is the volume of pores of the first layer exposed to an outside of the first layer. This varistor includes the outer layers protected from being broken even when a non-ohmic interface in a voltage non-linear resistor is broken down with a voltage exceeding a rated level.

The present invention is drawn to compositions and coated substrates wherein a back coating layer can be implemented for use to mitigate ink transfer, surface damage, smudging, and sticking between stacked sheets in output trays of ink-jet ink printers. Specifically, a coated media sheet can comprise a printing surface including an ink-receiving coating formulated to accept an ink-jet ink composition, and an opposing back surface comprising a back coating. The back coating can include an admixtu...

Method for removing a portion of the binder phase from the surface of a substrate that is composed of particles of at least a first phase joined together by the binder phase, and wherein the surface is etched by contacting it with a gas flow of an etchant gas and a second gas. The second gas is one or more gases that will not react with the substrate or the removed binder phase and will not alter the oxidation state of the substrate during etching.

A coated substrate, especially a glass substrate, such coated substrate having high photocatalytic activity and low visible light reflection as well as being highly abrasion resistant. Preferably, the coating is a titanium oxide coating, the photolytic activity is greater than 5.times.10.sup.-3 cm.sup.-1 min.sup.-1, and coating side visible light reflection is 35% or lower.

In one embodiment, a coated article comprises a substrate with a coating comprising diamond like carbon layer, wherein the diamond like carbon layer comprising carbon and sulfur as terminal sulfur functional groups, wherein greater than or equal to about 70 wt % of the carbon present in the diamond like carbon layer comprises a sp.sup.3 carbon-to-carbon bond. The diamond like carbon layer has a concentration gradient such that the diamond like carbon layer on a side toward the substrate comprise...

It is an object of the invention to provide coated particles excellent in the reliability of connection.The invention provides coated particles each comprising a metal-surfaced particle as a core and resulting from a partial surface modification of that core particle with an organic compound via a functional group (A) capable of binding to a metal.

The invention relates to a coated object in which coatings remain of a constant and unchanged high quality despite operating temperatures of more than 350.degree. C. This is achieved with interlayers which deliberately interrupt and thereby stabilize the morphology of the coating.

Carrier comprised of a core, a polymer coating, and wherein said coating contains a mixture of an alkali metal lauryl sulfate and a conductive component.
