A process for producing an article by transferring to at least one surface of the article, a surface structure of a polymeric film, the surface structure comprising individual, randomly distributed elevations, so that the resultant article comprises the surface structure or a mirror image of the surface structure, the transferring comprising: a) applying the film to the article as a cover layer wherein a surface of the film comprising the structure faces outward from the article; or b) transferring the surface structure of the film to the article by applying a surface of the film having the structure to the article, so as to form a mirror-image of the structure on the molded body, and optionally removing the film; the process produces an article having at least one surface which exhibits antireflection properties.

Process for producing antireflection-treated surfaces

Molded bodies made of polyester containing covalent-bonded oxide

A self-supporting sheet-like structure is described, which contains a substrate layer and a structured coating on at least one surface of the substrate layer. The structured coating is produced by treating at least one surface of the substrate layer by means of an electric corona discharge, which takes place between a high voltage electrode and a grounded counter-electrode. In this procedure, an aerosol containing discrete inert particles is simultaneously introduced into the corona discharge space during the corona discharge to improve the slip characteristics and reduce friction of the substrate layer.

The invention describes a novel polyester raw material and the production and use of an oriented, single- or multilayer film having an overall thickness of .ltoreq.4 .mu.m and a roughness on at least one film surface of R.sub.a &lt;30 nm, where the surface gas-flow resistance on at least one film surface is

Planar casting with a regularly textured surface on at least one side. A self-supporting planar casting made of polymer material and a process to produce the same are described. The planar casting contains at least one inert additive in an amount in the range of 0.001 to 5% by weight. At least one of it surfaces made from polymer forming the casting is textured by regularly arranged elevations in predominantly longitudinal and transverse direction of largely uniform configuration having a ratio of minimum diameter (d.sub.min) to maximum diameter (d.sub.max) in the range of ##EQU1## an average diameter (d.sub.m) of ##EQU2## in the range of 10 to 800 .mu.m. The elevations having a height in the range of 0.01 to 15 .mu.m.

Planar substrate with a regularly textured surface on at least one side

A self-supporting sheet-like structure comprises a coating, which reduces sliding friction, on at least one surface of the substrate. The slip-improving coating is produced by treating this substrate surface by means of an electric corona discharge between a high voltage electrode and a grounded counter-electrode while simultaneously spraying an aerosol into the corona discharge zone. The aerosol contains a film-forming agent as a slip agent, for example aqueous solutions or emulsions of monoesters of glycerol and long-chain fatty acids.

Self-supporting sheet-like structure comprising a substrate and a

A reclaimable polyester film is disclosed which comprises an oriented polyester film which has been coated with an adhesion-promoting coating. The coating is applied to the film as an aqueous dispersion and is dried and crosslinked by the application of heat. The coating is prepared by the free-radical emulsion polymerizable of the following components:

Reclaimable polyester film having adhesion-promoting coating

The invention concerns a polyester film with improved abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, drawability and slip properties. The film is characterized by the fact that it contains 0.005 to 5.0% by weight of organic, preferably hardened or crosslinked, particles with narrow particle size distribution in a range between 0.01 and 5 microns, as well as a nucleating agent in an amount from 0.01 to 10% by weight, both values related to the weight of the polymers which form the film.

Polyester film

Pretreating the surface of electrically conducting molded materials, such as metal foil or plastic films in whose polymer matrix electrically conducting particles have been incorporated, by means of electrical corona discharge is provided. A generator subjects the high voltage discharge electrodes of the corona discharge to a high-frequency alternating current of high voltage. The metal core of a roller, over whose metallic circumference a film web or foil is transported, serves as the grounded metallic counter-electrodes. A housing encloses the high voltage electrodes of the corona discharge and is connected via a line to an atomizer apparatus, in which a liquid is atomized to give a suspendible aerosol by means of a piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrator system or by two-material atomizer nozzles operating at the speed of sound. A blower whose throughput can be regulated is connected to the atomizing apparatus and conveys the carrier gas, for example air, for the aerosol through the atomizing apparatus into the corona discharge.

Process and apparatus for pretreating the surface of a single-layer or

A process is described for the production of an oriented, heat-set polyester film including an admixture of polydiorganosiloxane in the amount of 0.001 to 2% by weight, as well as further additives, such as inert inorganic and/or organic particles. The thermoplastic material is melted in an extruder and extruded through an appropriate die to give a cast film, is then quenched, reheated, stretch oriented, and heat set. The characteristic criteria is the addition of the polydiorganosiloxane to the polydiorganosiloxane-free polyester in the form of a masterbatch.

A biaxially oriented and heat set film having improved abrasion resistance is described, whose distinguishing characteristics are that it has a density of more than 1.38 g/cm.sup.3 and that the following relationship exists between the orientation birefringence (.DELTA.n), the reduced specific viscosity (RSV), and the temper peak (Tp) of the film:

This invention relates to a biaxially or multi-axially oriented, heat set film, which has on its surface numerous unevenesses, which comprise indentations around a protrusion. The protrusions comprise crosslinked or hardened organic particles having an average particle size of from 0.01 to 5.0 microns and having a narrow particle size distribution. The film surface has a mean surface roughness value Ra of from 0.005 to 0.10 micron.
