20090023587 | METHOD OF PATTERNING A SUBSTRATE - A method of forming a metallic material on a receptor that includes the steps of: placing a donor element proximate a receptor, wherein the donor element includes a donor substrate and a thermal transfer layer, wherein the thermal transfer layer includes a catalytic material, and wherein the thermal transfer layer of the donor element is placed proximate the surface of the receptor; thermally transferring at least a portion of the thermal transfer layer from the donor element to the receptor; and electrolessly depositing a metallic material on the receptor by growth of the metallic material on the catalytic material. | 01-22-2009 |
20090122310 | METHOD OF MAKING MICROARRAYS - Provided is a method of making microarrays that includes providing a substrate with discrete first microfeatures that have a first profile, and depositing vapor-coated materials onto the first microfeatures to form second microfeatures having a second profile that is substantially different from the first profile. Also provided is a method of adding a replication material to the vapor-coated microfeatures to form a mold. Microarrays made by this method can be used as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). | 05-14-2009 |
20100062226 | SURFACE-ENHANCED SPECTROSCOPIC METHOD, FLEXIBLE STRUCTURED SUBSTRATE, AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A method of obtaining a surface-enhanced optical property of an analyte using a flexible structured substrate having a metal layer conformably disposed on nanostructure, a flexible structured substrate, and a method of making the same. | 03-11-2010 |
20100285231 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING TWO-SIDED PATTERNED WEB IN REGISTRATION - An apparatus for casting a patterned surface on both sides of an opaque web. The apparatus includes a first patterned roll, a second pattered roll, and a means for rotating the first and second patterned rolls such that their patterns are transferred to opposite sides of the opaque web while it is in continuous motion. During this process, their patterns are maintained in continuous registration to within at least 100 micrometers. | 11-11-2010 |
20100302479 | OPTICAL ARTICLE - The invention provides optical articles ( | 12-02-2010 |
20110104321 | METHOD FOR REPLICATING MASTER MOLDS - The disclosure provides a method of replicating a master using a patterned silicone daughter mold, from a master mold, the daughter mold having a layer of a ductile metal on the patterned surface thereof. | 05-05-2011 |
20110198781 | METHODS FOR CHANGING THE SHAPE OF A SURFACE OF A SHAPE MEMORY POLYMER ARTICLE - Methods for changing the shape of a surface of an article are disclosed. The methods may include providing a liquid polymer precursor, casting the precursor against a first tool assembly, curing the precursor to form a shape memory polymer substrate, deforming one or more surfaces of the substrate, and mobilizing the shape memory polymer to shift the deformed surface of the substrate from a deformed shape to a pre-set shape. | 08-18-2011 |
20140283365 | METHOD OF MAKING A NOZZLE - Methods of making nozzles are disclosed. More specifically, methods of making nozzles that may be used as components of a fuel injection system are disclosed. | 09-25-2014 |
