The substantially homogenous powder mixture is cold gas-dynamic sprayed on the substrate to form a coating of... Agent: Honeywell International Inc.

20070098912 - Method for producing functionally graded coatings using cold gas-dynamic spraying: A method is provided for forming a graded coating on a surface of a substrate. The method comprises the step of cold gas-dynamic spraying powder mixtures on the substrate surface to form the graded coating thereon. The method does not distort the substrate and does not require the use of... Agent: Honeywell International Inc.

20070098914 - Microwave process for porous ceramic filters with passivation and catalyst coatings: A method for base-coating a porous ceramic catalyst support includes coating the support with a passivation coating via vacuum infiltration, and subsequently exposing the support to a microwave field to dry the coating and form a polymerized film. The method further includes coating the support with a catalyst coating or... Agent: Corning Incorporated

20070098915 - Method of applying removable coating compositions: A method of applying coating composition is described in which the coating composition comprises a multi-stage emulsion polymer that is both radiation curable, removable and includes chemically reactive functional groups in the coating that react with one or more conventional chemical stripping agents, effecting the removal of the coating from...
