Abstract

A method is used to provide a pattern of a functional material for example on a receiving element. To provide this pattern, a laser-engraveable patternable element is imagewise exposed with laser-engraving radiation. This element has a laser-engraveable layer comprising a thermoplastic elastomeric interpolymer alloy. This interpolymer alloy comprises a non-crosslinked halogenated polymer, a partially crosslinked polyolefin, and a polyester. A laser-engraved patterned element is formed that has a relief image in the laser-engraveable layer, and this relief image can be contacted with a suitable functional material that is then transferred to the receiving element to provide the desired pattern.
