Abstract:
A material for making a conductive pattern, the material comprising a support and a heat-differentiable element, the heat-differentiable element comprising an outermost layer containing a polyanion and an intrinsically conductive polymer and optionally a second layer contiguous with the outermost layer, characterized in that the outermost layer and/or the optional second layer contains hydrophobic thermocoagulable latex particles in a weight ratio range with respect to the intrinsically conductive polymer in the range of 20:1 to 1:5, the hydrophobic thermocoagulable latex particles are capable upon heating of increasing the conductivity of the heated parts of the outermost layer relative to the unheated parts of the outermost layer and/or changing the removability of the heated parts of the outermost layer relative to the unheated parts of the outermost layer and the heat-differentiable element does not comprise a di- or polyhydroxy organic compound or an aprotic compound with a dielectric constant, null, null15; a method of making a conductive pattern on a support therewith; and a use of the material for making a conductive pattern in making an electronic circuit in the production of an electric or semiconductor device such as a printed circuit board, an integrated circuit, a display or touch screen, an electroluminescent device or a photovoltaic cell.
Abstract:
A positive working heat-sensitive lithographic printing plate precursor is disclosed which comprises a support having a hydrophilic surface and a coating, provided on the hydrophilic surface, wherein the coating comprises a spacer particle comprising aluminum hydroxide or aluminum oxide and having an average particle size larger than 0.3 nullm, for improving the scuff-mark resistance of the coating. Furthermore, the coating comprises an infrared light absorbing agent, an oleophilic resin soluble in an aqueous alkaline developer and a developer resistant means.
Abstract:
A negative-working heat-sensitive material for making a lithographic printing plate by direct-to-plate recording is disclosed. The material comprises in the order given a lithographic base having a hydrophilic surface, an oleophilic imaging layer and a cross-linked hydrophilic upper layer which comprises an organic compound derived from sulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or phosphonic acid. Materials according to the invention are characterized by an increased water-acceptance in the non-printing areas, which allows a rapid start-up of the press.
