Certain pyridine-ketone compounds have been found to provide anticorrosion properties when incorporated into silver nanowire containing films. Such compounds may be incorporated into one or more silver nanowire containing layers or in one or more layers disposed adjacent to the silver nanowire containing layers.

Stabilization agents for silver nanowire based transparent conductive films

Boric acid has been found to provide anticorrosion properties when incorporated into silver nanowire containing films. Such compounds may be incorporated into one or more silver nanowire containing layers or in one or more layers disposed adjacent to the silver nanowire containing layers.

Zinc salts have been found to provide anticorrosion properties when incorporated into silver nanowire containing films. Such salts may be incorporated into one of more silver nanowire containing layers or in one or more layers disposed adjacent to the silver nanowire containing layers.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films exhibit improved ink-drying and smudging performance. These films exhibit high maximum optical densities and have low haze values. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. These films can exhibit high maximum optical densities, rapid ink drying, low curl, excellent adhesion between the coating layers and the substrate, and negligible ink transfer between stacked ink-jet recording films after imaging. Such films are useful in medical imaging applications.

Addition of a surfactant to either the under-layer, the image-receiving layer, or to both the under-layer and the image-receiving layer provides a quick-drying, transparent ink-jet recording film capable of achieving an optical density of at least 2.8 while still having a low haze and producing a number of grey levels.

Transparent ink-jet recording film

Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. Such films do not exhibit excessive ink drying times. These films can be free of such visual effects as mud cracking. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Photothermographic materials contain one or more blocked aliphatic thiol compounds in an amount of at least 1 mg/mas stabilizers. These compounds have a calculated octanol-water partition coefficient (c log P value) of 2.0 or greater, and an N value equal to or greater than 6.5.

Blocked aliphatic thiol stabilizers for photothermographic materials

Black-and-white, dry processable thermally developable materials have increased stability after imaging with the incorporation of at least 0.0001 mol/mof a thermal solvent having one or more &#x3e;N&#x2014;C(&#x2550;O)&#x2014; groups. Such thermally developable materials include both thermographic and photothermographic materials.
