    Abstract: The present invention relates to complex security elements based on liquid crystal coatings which are subsequently coated with specific metallic nano-shaped metal particles, a method for their manufacture, in particular on a glass, paper or on a plastic substrate and a security product obtainable using the security element. The security element may contain additionally an embossed surface relief microstructure, especially an optically variable image (an optically variable device, OVD), such as a hologram. A further aspect of the invention is the use of such a security element for the prevention of counterfeit or reproduction of a document of value.

    a) the block A comprises
    a1) monomer units (A1) derived from a compound selected from alkyl (meth)acrylates, alkyl (meth)acrylamides, or any mixture thereof, and
    a2) monomer units (A2) derived from a hydroxy group, or ether group containing alkyl (meth)acrylate;
    b) the block B comprises monomer units (B) derived from a compound selected from fluorinated (meth)acrylic esters of formula






    H2C═CR46(C(O)ORF-1)  (XX), wherein



    R46 is H, or a methyl group; and
    RF-1 is an organic residue containing a perfluorinated alkyl group;
    (F) optionally one, or more polymeric binders;
    (F) optionally one, or more solvents; and
    (H) optionally further additives.




    The coatings, obtained with said compositions, show one color, when observed in transmission and another color, when observed in reflection on both sides of the cured coating.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to security elements, comprising (a) a substrate, (b) on at least part of the substrate surface a metal layer, (c) optionally on at least part of the metal layer a dielectric layer, (d) on at least part of the metal layer, or the dielectric layer, a layer obtained by overcoating the metal layer, or the dielectric layer with a composition, comprising (i) silver nanoparticles, (ii) a solvent, (iii) (surface) stabilizing agent(s) and (iv) optionally a binder, and (e) a protective layer on top of layer (d). The maximum absorption wavelength of the silver nanoparticles in layer (d) is controlled by the amount of (surface) stabilizing agent(s) and optionally binder relative to the amount of silver nanoparticles to be preferably in the range of 700 to 1600 nm.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to metal oxide nanoparticles, a method for their production, a coating, or printing composition, comprising the metal oxide nanoparticles and the use of the composition for coating of surface relief micro- and nanostructures (e.g. holograms), manufacturing of optical waveguides, solar panels, light outcoupling layers for display and lighting devices and anti-reflection coatings. Holograms are bright and visible from any angle, when coated, or printed with the composition, comprising the metal oxide nanoparticles.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions, comprising platelet-shaped transition metal particles, wherein the number mean diameter of the platelet-shaped transition metal particles, present in the composition, is in the range of 15 nm to 1000 nm and the number mean thickness of the platelet-shaped transition metal particles, present in the composition, is in the range of 2 to 40 nm, the transition metal is selected from silver, copper, gold and palladium and the platelet-shaped transition metal particles bear a surface modifying agent of formula A-(CHR9)r—R10 (V), wherein if r is 1, A is a C1-C25alkyl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms; a C2-C25alkenyl substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms; a C2-C25alkynyl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms; a C3-C20cycloalkyl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms; or a C6-C24aryl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms, CF3 or —O—CF3 groups; if r is 0, A is a C6-C24aryl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms, CF3 or —O—CF3 groups; or a C7-C24aralkyl group substituted with one, or more fluorine atoms, CF3 or —O—CF3 groups;
    R9 is H, or a C1-C4alkyl group; and R10 is a thiol group, or an amino group.
    Surface modification with fluorinated thiols/amines allows to tune the surface properties of silver nanoplatelets in such a way, as to, on the one hand, make them dispersible and colloidally stable in the finished printing ink system, and on the other hand, allow them to migrate to the substrate and print surfaces upon drying of the solvent in the printed layer.
