A radiation-curable anti-reflective coating is disclosed. The coating may be deposited on a substrate by spinning, dipping or rolling. The anti-reflective coating may have two layers in which case the anti-reflective coating has a V-shaped reflectance pattern in the visible wavelength spectrum. The anti-reflective coating may have three layers in which case the anti-reflective coating has a broadband reflectance pattern in the visible wavelength spectrum.

A composition suitable for treating metal surfaces prior to bonding of the surfaces to materials including metals, rubber, glass, polymers, sealants, coatings, and in particular polymeric adhesives, to enhance the strength of the bond and to prolong useful life in corrosive environments, is described. The composition comprises: (a) water; (b) metal alkoxide comprising M(OR) , where M is a metal and R is an alkyl group; and (c) organoalkoxysilane comprising silane coupling functional groups capable of bonding with the material to be bonded to the metal surface; and (d) acid to promote hydrolysis and cross-linking of the metal alkoxide and organoalkoxysilane, wherein the molar ratio of metal alkoxide:organoalkoxysilane:acid is selected such that the composition is characterized by: (i) an extended shelf life, and (ii) is capable of cross-linking when applied to the metal surface to form an adherent coating having a substantially uniform distribution of metal, silicon, and oxygen species through the thickness of the coating, (iii) is capable of bonding with the material to be bonded to the metal surface to form a strong adherent bond between the metal surface and the material to be bonded to the metal surface.

Composition useful for treating metal surfaces

Insertion of light elements such as H,C, or N in the R Fe (R&equals;rare earth metal) series has been found to modify the magnetic properties of these compounds, which thus become prospective candidates for high performance permanent magnets. The most spectacular changes are increases of the Curie temperature, T , of the magnetization, M , and of coercivity, H , upon interstitial insertion. A preliminary product having a component R&mdash;Fe&mdash;C,N phase is produced by a chemical route. Rare earth metal and iron amides are synthesized followed by pyrolysis and sintering in an inert or reduced atmosphere, as a result of which, the R&mdash;Fe&mdash;C,N phases are formed. Fabrication of sintered rare earth iron nitride and carbonitride bulk magnet is impossible via conventional process due to the limitation of nitridation method.

Coating solutions having anti-reflective and anti-static properties, a coating derived therefrom, a substrate coated with the coating and methods for their preparation. A coating includes a sol-gel alkoxide polymeric material and a conductive colloidal metal oxide material.

Metal nitride, carbonitride, and oxycarbonitride powder with high surface area (up to 150 m,/g) is prepared by using sol-gel process. The metal organic precursor, alkoxides or amides, is synthesized firstly. The metal organic precursor is modified by using unhydrolyzable organic ligands or templates. A wet gel is formed then by hydrolysis and condensation process. The solvent in the wet gel is then be removed supercritically to form porous amorphous hydroxide. This porous hydroxide materials is sintered to 725&deg; C. under the ammonia flow and porous nitride powder is formed. The other way to obtain high surface area nitride, carbonitride, and oxycarbonitride powder is to pyrolyze polymerized templated metal amides aerogel in an inert atmosphere. The electrochemical capacitors are prepared by using sol-gel prepared nitride, carbonitride, and oxycarbonitride powder. Two methods are used to assemble the capacitors. Electrode is formed either by pressing the mixture of nitride powder and binder to a foil, or by depositing electrode coating onto metal current collector. The binder or coating is converted into a continuous network of electrode material after thermal treatment to provide enhanced energy and power density. Liquid electrolyte is soaked into porous electrode. The electrochemical capacitor assembly further has a porous separator layer between two electrodes/electrolyte and forming a unit cell.
