Abstract:
A photothermographic composition is disclosed comprising a sensitizing dye and the salt of an oxidizing acid and a leuco dye, wherein said acid consists of a Group V, VI, or VII element and oxygen.
Abstract:
A positive-acting thermographic material which is black or dark colored in the unexposed condition turns white or light colored when exposed to elevated temperatures. The material comprises a binder, a dark colored complex of ferric iron with a ligand chosen from organothiophosphorus acids, and a white organophosphorus acid or its alkali or alkaline earth metal salt. At elevated temperatures a double decomposition reaction occurs giving the light colored complex of ferric iron with the organophosphorus acid.
Abstract:
A composite structure and method therefor comprises a metal surface which is coated with a polymer incorporating a bidentate chelating functionality. The polymer provides significant and varied chemical modification to the metal surface and is useful, for example, as a protective coating or a priming layer. Bidentate chelating monomers useful in preparing homopolymers and copolymers with ethylenically-unsaturated non-chelating monomers have structures described by the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, chlorinated lower alkyl, CN, or ClP is a connecting linkage of chain length up to to about 75 atoms, andQ is a bidentate chelating group having a high affinity for the ions of the metal of the surface involved.

Abstract:
Transparent conductive films, articles made from them, and methods of making them are disclosed. Some transparent conductive films include flexible glass substrates and conductive layers containing metal nanoparticles. Others include at least one layer with cell walls that contain metal nanorods or conductive nanowires. Still others include a substrate with a coating disposed on it, with the coating including conductive components and photopolymers. Such films are useful in such articles as electronic displays, touch screens, and the like.
