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.

Devices with protected electrically-conductive metal grids

An article comprises a transparent substrate having a first supporting side and an opposing second supporting side. An electrically-conductive pattern is disposed on at least the first supporting side. A dry outermost polymeric coating disposed over at least part but not all of the electrically-conductive pattern, the dry outermost 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.

Electrically-conductive articles with protective polymeric coatings

A method is used to provide an electrically-conductive article. This method includes: forming an electrically-conductive pattern on first supporting side of a transparent substrate that also comprises an opposing second supporting side; and 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.

Methods for providing electrically-conductive articles

The invention relates to a laminated base for an imaging element comprising a paper having adhered to each side a biaxially oriented sheet of polyolefin polymer, wherein the top biaxially oriented sheet on the image side has incorporated therein a stabilizing amount of hindered amine light stabilizer.
