摘要:
A pattern is formed in a polymeric layer comprising a reactive composition that comprises: (a) a polymer comprising pendant—arylene-X—C(═O)—O— t-alkyl groups that comprise a blocking group that is cleavable to provide pendant—arylene-XH groups, (b) a compound that provides a cleaving acid upon exposure to radiation having a λmax of 150 nm and to 450 nm, which cleaving acid has a pKa of 2 or less as measured in water, and (c) optionally, a photosensitizer. The polymeric layer is imagewise exposed to suitable radiation to provide non-exposed regions and exposed regions comprising a de-blocked and crosslinked polymer with pendant—arylene-XH groups. The exposed regions are contacted with electroless seed metal ions in the de-blocked and crosslinked polymer. After reduction, the corresponding electroless seed metal nuclei are electrolessly plated using a suitable metal that is the same as or different from the corresponding electroless seed metal nuclei.

摘要:
A conductive pattern can be formed using a polymeric layer that contains a reactive composition having a reactive polymer. This reactive polymer comprises (i) a backbone, and (ii) pendant photosensitive non-aromatic unsaturated heterocyclic groups comprising an amide group that is conjugated with a carbon-carbon double bond. The non-aromatic unsaturated heterocyclic groups are linked to the backbone at an amide nitrogen atom. The reactive composition can be patternwise exposed to suitable radiation to induce crosslinking within the reactive polymer. The reactive composition and reactive polymer in the non-exposed regions can be removed due to their aqueous solubility, but the exposed regions of the polymeric layer are contacted with electroless seed metal ions, which are then reduced, followed by electrolessly plating with a suitable metal to form the desired conductive pattern. Various articles can be prepared during this process, and the product article can be incorporated into various electronic devices.

摘要:
Aqueous ink jet ink compositions are used for ink jet printing colorless, colored or invisible images on receiver elements. These compositions contain a dispersion of an unsaturated natural oil and a water compatible polyurethane. The unsaturated oil dispersion is prepared from conventional surfactants or a polyurethane dispersing agent. The polyurethane is prepared from unsaturated polyol segments prepared from the unsaturated natural oils. The ink preparations are printed on media treated with agents such as metal ions known to catalyze crosslinking reactions in unsaturated oils. Such compositions are useful in various ink jet printing systems including drop on demand and continuous ink jet printing systems.
