A composite building article is configured with one or more subsurface interfacial zones provided to improve the durability of the article. Each subsurface interfacial zone is made of a matrix of fiber cement and radiation curable material. The radiation curable material forms an interlocking network with the fiber cement to provide a interfacial zone against ingress of environmental agents that can degrade the article. The number, configuration and distribution of the subsurface interfacial zones can vary dependent on the desired characteristics of the final product. The subsurface interfacial zones also improves the adhesion between exterior coatings and the substrate as the interfacial zones can be integrally formed with the substrate as well as exterior coating layer. |

To produce a composite building unit having a polymer-cladded surface, a polymerizable resin binder and a blend of filler particles are combined to provide a resin binder/filler mixture which is deposited in a mold. A concrete substrate is then positioned in the mold with a face surface contacting a transition layer comprising a lightly filled resin binder/filler layer portion of the deposited mixture overlying a highly filled resin binder/filler layer portion of the deposited mixture. The resin binder in the transition layer migrates into pockets and pores in the substrate face surface to create mechanical locks when the resin binder is cured. These locks, in addition to chemical bonding, serve to permanently affix the cured resin binder as a surface cladding to the substrate. Initiators may be added to the resin binder to promote thermal and/or UV radiation cures thereof. |

A method for forming a thick film pattern is provided which can easily perform pattern formation even when a photosensitive paste containing a powdered conductor at a high content and having a low optical transmittance is used and which can form a thick film pattern having a rectangular cross-section and superior high-frequency transmission characteristics. In addition, a photosensitive paste used therefor is also provided. The thick film pattern having a predetermined shape can be formed by the steps of determining the photocurable depth d of a photosensitive paste; coating with the photosensitive paste in consideration of the photocurable depth d so as to form a photosensitive paste film having a predetermined thickness t; exposing the photosensitive paste film; and developing the exposed photosensitive paste film. Preferably, the coating with the photosensitive paste is performed so that the relationship between the photocurable depth d of the photosensitive paste and the thickness t of the photosensitive paste film satisfies the equation t≦d. |

A method for making a lithographic printing plate from an imaging material comprising a ceramic oxide or an oxidic ceramic is disclosed, wherein a lithographic image is created by increasing the contact angle for water of the ceramic oxide or oxidic ceramic, characterized in that an oxygen vacancy is introduced in the ceramic oxide or oxidic ceramic by a step selected from the group consisting of exposing the imaging material to ultraviolet radiation having a wavelength between 200 and 400 nm; and heating the imaging material under low partial oxygen pressure or in a reducing atmosphere. The plate obtained can be used as a printing master for lithographic printing. After the print job, the lithographic image can be erased by heating the ceramic oxide or oxidic ceramic in an oxidizing atmosphere and the erased imaging material thus obtained can then be reused in a next cycle of imaging and printing. |

An activated substrate surface suitable for electronics and microsystems preparation is prepare by contacting the surface with a surface activation compound, e.g. organometallic based on palladium, platinum, rhodium or iridium. The photo labile ligand has an optical absorption band which overlaps with the wavelength of the UV. A UV lamp is used, in combination with a mask, to selectively irradiate the contacted surface. Irradiation of the surface with light of a suitable wavelength decomposes the organometallic compound to the activating metal. The surface is then ready for electroless plating with the desired conducting material. The mask is patterned to delineate areas where surface activation is not to occur. The organometallic compound absorbs ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength range 210-260 nm, or in the wavelength range 290-330 nm, in the solid state if the compound exists as a solid at 25° C. or in the liquid state if the compound exists as a liquid at 25° C. |

An apparatus 20 and process for treating and conditioning an etching chamber 30, and cleaning a thin, non-homogeneous, etch residue on the walls 45 and components of the etching chamber 30. In the etching step, a substrate 25 is etched in the etching chamber 30 to deposit a thin etch residue layer on the surfaces of the walls and components in the chamber. In the cleaning step, cleaning gas is introduced into a remote chamber 40 adjacent to the etching chamber 30, and microwave or RF energy is applied inside the remote chamber to form an activated cleaning gas. A short burst of activated cleaning gas at a high flow rate is introduced into the etching chamber 30 to clean the etch residue on the walls 45 and components of the etching chamber. The method is particularly useful for cleaning etch residue that is chemically adhered to ceramic surfaces in the chamber, for example surfaces comprising aluminum nitride, boron carbide, boron nitride, diamond, silicon oxide, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, titanium oxide, titanium carbide, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide, or mixtures thereof. |

Photocatalytic particles of the photocatalytic layer are joined together by a surface energy or solid-state sintering. The photocatalytic layer may have a structure in which fine particles fill interstices defined between photocatalytic particles or a structure in which no fine particles fill interstices defined between photocatalytic particles. A metal such as Ag, Pt, or the like may be fixed or not fixed to surfaces of the photocatalytic particles.
