The invention relates to a process for producing a patterned transparent conductive film comprising areas with lower conductivity and areas with higher conductivity, comprising following steps: (a) applying an ink comprising electrically conductive nanoobjects with or without a binder on a substrate, forming a first layer, wherein the amount of conductive nanoobjects is such that the first layer has a low conductivity after drying; (b) drying of the first layer; (c) applying an ink comprising a metallo-organic complex in a predetermined pattern on the first layer; (d) decomposing of the ink applied in step (c), thereby forming a pattern having a higher conductivity on the first layer. The invention further relates to a transparent conductive film, comprising areas with lower conductivity and areas with higher conductivity, wherein the areas with higher conductivity and the areas with lower conductivity comprise nanoobjects and in the areas with higher conductivity, the nanoobjects are fused by metal generated by decomposition of a metallo-organic complex.

Process for producing a patterned transparent conductive film and a transparent conductive film

The present invention relates to a process for producing polymerized films with line texture or fingerprint texture or for producing substrates coated with polymerized films with line texture or fingerprint texture, to polymerized films, obtainable by this process, with line texture or fingerprint texture or substrates coated with polymerized films with line texture or fingerprint texture, to pigments obtainable by comminuting such films, to the use of such films, substrates or pigments as or in optical filter(s), polarizers, decorative media, forgeryproof markers, reflective media or for focusing light (in solar cells), to the use of such films as an antibacterial coating, to a forgeryproof marker which comprises such a film, and to a process for detecting forgeryproof markings.
