A method is used to provide an electrically conductive article. The method includes: (i) providing a continuous polymeric web of a transparent polymeric substrate; (ii) forming a first photocurable pattern on at least a first portion on a first supporting side of the continuous polymeric web using a photocurable composition comprising metal particles; (iii) exposing the photocurable pattern to form a photocured pattern on the first portion of the first supporting side; (iv) electrolessly plating the photocured pattern with an electrically-conductive metal to form an electrically-conductive metal pattern; and (v) forming a dry outermost polymeric coating over at least part but not all of the electrically-conductive pattern, the dry polymeric coating having a dry thickness of less than 5 &#x3bc;m, an integrated transmittance of at least 80%, and comprising a non-crosslinked thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature (T) that is equal to or greater than 65&#xb0; C.

Patterning continuous webs with protected electrically-conductive grids

An electronic device has a touch screen comprising a transparent substrate having a first supporting side and an opposing second supporting side. The first supporting side of the touch screen has at least one electrically-conductive pattern, and a dry outermost polymeric coating disposed over at least part but not all of the electrically-conductive metal pattern. The dry polymeric coating has a dry thickness of less than 5 &#x3bc;m, an integrated transmittance of at least 80%, and a non-crosslinked thermoplastic polymer having a glass transition temperature (T) that is equal to or greater than 65&#xb0; C.

The invention relates generally to the field of inkjet recording media and inkjet printing methods. More specifically, the invention relates to a porous base layer of an inkjet recording element, the base layer comprising precipitated calcium carbonate having scalenohedral morphology.

Inkjet recording media comprising precipitated calcium carbonate

An inkjet recording element comprising a porous ink-receiving layer having interconnecting voids is disclosed in which an upper surface of the ink-receiving layer has been subjected to plasma treatment, and wherein the upper surface of the ink-receiving layer, prior to the plasma treatment, has a measured carbon elemental content of at least 40 percent. The invention can provide increased dot spread.

Plasma treatment of porous inkjet receivers

An inkjet recording element comprising an ink-permeable microvoided substrate comprising a porous ink-receiving layer over and adjacent to an ink-permeable microvoided substrate layer comprising, in a polyester continuous phase, a polyester ionomer, wherein the microvoided substrate layer and the porous ink-receiving layer both having interconnecting voids. Also disclosed is an inkjet printing process, comprising the step of providing an ink-jet printer with such an inkjet recording element.

Inkjet recording element comprising polyester ionomer and a method of use

An inkjet recording system comprising a pigment-based ink in combination with a recording element having a porous substrate with relatively large pores and a relatively thin overlying surface layer which traps pigment particles, from an applied pigmented ink, at or near the surface while not unduly restricting ink flow into the underlying porous substrate.

Porous inkjet recording system comprising ink-pigment-trapping surface layer

Ink jet printing method

The present invention is a method for injection molding fine particulate inorganic materials which includes the steps of, compounding a particulate inorganic material and a magnesium-X silicate, wherein X represents lithium, sodium, potassium or other monovalent ion, containing binder, injecting the compounded material at low pressure and ambient temperature into a mold to form a green part, and sintering the green part to form the final molded part.

Low pressure injection molding of fine particulate ceramics and its

Phosphor screens, cesium-zinc halide phosphors, and preparation methods. The phosphor screens comprising a support and a luminescent portion including phosphor comprising oxygen and a combination of species characterized by the relationship:

Cesium-zinc halide phosphors, phosphor screens, and preparation methods

Phosphor compositions are disclosed comprised of a BaGd.sub.2 O.sub.4 host which is activated by at least one of Tb and Sm. These phosphors are useful as storage phosphors. An imaging plate utilizing these phosphors is also disclosed.

Barium gadolinate phosphor activated by terbium and/or samarium

An x-ray intensifying screen is disclosed containing magnesium tantalum niobium oxide as a phosphor in an ordered corundum crystalline form. In addition, small amounts of at least one alkali metal other than lithium can be present. Potassium, rubidium and cesium are each capable of increasing luminescence. The x-ray intensifying screens are useful in radiographic applications where it is important to reduce subject exposure to x-rays and also to create clear, sharp images.
