To transfer the nanoparticles, the transfer film is laminated to a glass receptor, the substrate is removed, and the sacrificial material is baked-out to leave the nanoparticles aligned within the structured surface of the backfill layer on the glass receptor. To transfer the nanowires, the transfer film is laminated to a glass receptor, and the sacrificial substrates are baked-out to leave the nanowires aligned on the glass receptor. | 03-03-2016 |
| 20160067948 | ENCAPSULATION STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME - An encapsulation structure includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a quantum dot layer. Both the first substrate and the second substrate are made of glass. The edge of the first substrate and the edge of the second substrate are sealed together to encapsulate the quantum dot layer between the first substrate and the second substrate. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160071538 | RECORDING MATERIAL AND OPTICAL INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM - A recording material includes a dye-bonded polymer compound which contains a polymer compound to which a one-photon absorption dye is bonded, and a glass transition temperature of the recording material is higher than 200° C. An optical information recording medium includes a recording layer and an intermediate layer adjacent to the recording layer, and the recording layer contains the above-described recording material. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160087246 | METHODS OF FORMING TRANSFER FILMS - Methods of making transfer films to form bridged nanostructures are disclosed. The methods include applying a thermally stable backfill layer to a structured surface of a sacrificial template layer. | 03-24-2016 |

| 20160116385 | SUBSTRATE FOR ADHESION OF BIOLOGICAL MATTER, AND PRODUCTION METHOD AND STORAGE METHOD FOR SAME - A biological-matter-adhesive substrate includes a base having a surface having a hydrophilicity configured to allow a biological matter to be bonded to the surface of the base. The surface of the base is covered with an acidic solution. This biological-matter-adhesive substrate maintains adhesiveness to a biological matter even if being stored for a long period of time. | 04-28-2016 |
| 20160122559 | IMPRINTED MULTI-LAYER STRUCTURE - An imprinted multi-layer structure includes a support and a structured bi-layer on or over the support, The structured bi-layer includes a first cured layer having a first cross-linked material on or over the support. A second cured layer has a second material different from the first material on or over the first cured layer on a side of the first cured layer opposite the support. The structured bi-layer has at least a depth greater than the thickness of the second cured layer. The first material is cross-linked to the second material. | 05-05-2016 |
| 20160136922 | CARBON FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIAL - Surfaces of a carbon-fiber composite material is constructed by a carbon fiber prepregs by arranging a porous prepreg between the carbon fiber prepregs, at least one of a concave portion and a convex portion is formed on at least one surface of the carbon composite material, and, as compared to a normal portion without the concave portion and the convex portion, a thickness of the porous prepreg at the concave portion is reduced and a thickness of the porous prepreg at the convex portion is increased. | 05-19-2016 |
