A method for making a porous inorganic membrane comprises using a mixture of an inorganic material, organic polymer particles and a solvent to form a slurry. The particles are non-spherical. The method further comprises distributing the slurry onto a surface, drying the slurry to remove the solvent and firing the dried slurry to produce the porous inorganic membrane. Examples of organic polymer particles include particles of acrylic. A substrate comprises a support with a porous inorganic membrane disposed on the support. The inorganic membrane has an average thickness of from about 0.5 micron to about 30 microns, a porosity of from about 30% to about 65%, a median pore size (d50) of from about 0.01 micron to about 1 micron, and a value of (d90&#x2212;d10)/d50 less than about 2, as measured by mercury porosimetry. An example of a support includes an inorganic porous support.

There is disclosed a method for chemically treating a display glass substrate by treating at least one surface of the glass substrate with a heated solution containing HCl to form a depletion layer at the surface and under the surface of the glass substrate. The disclosure also relates to display glass substrates containing the depletion layer made by the disclosed process. In addition, the disclosure relates to methods of making thin-film transistors ('TFTs') on these display glass substrates by depositing a Si layer directly on the chemically treated surface of the glass substrate, and annealing the Si layer to form polycrystalline silicon.

A method of treating a particulate filter includes introducing a work fluid, such as water, into one or more channels of the filter and then removing the work fluid in a vaporized state. The channels contain an amount of ash and the density of the ash is greater subsequent to the removal of the work fluid than prior to the introduction of the work fluid.

A coating apparatus includes modular interfaces and substrate receptors for accommodating various shapes and sizes of monolith substrates when coating layers are applied onto the monolith substrates. The monolith substrates are laterally surrounded by an elastically deformable sleeve that prevents lateral leakage of a vacuum out of the monolith substrate when a vacuum is applied to opposing ends of the monolith substrate, thereby eliminating needs for bulky vacuum chambers. The coating apparatus also includes valves and control apparatus that enable excess precursor liquid to be drained from monolith channels in-situ, without the use of additional spin-drying steps. Coating methods for using the coating apparatus are provided.
