Novel thermally sensitive imageable layers comprising a leuco dye oxidizing acid salt are disclosed, wherein said acid consists of a Group V, VI, or VII element and oxygen.
Abstract:
Claimed methods do not rely on highly reactive reagents, highly corrosive solutions, high temperatures, or long reaction times. Nanowires produced from such methods are free of large attached nanoparticles that have accompanied previously disclosed copper nanowires. Such nanowires are useful for electronics applications.
Abstract:
Nanowire preparation methods, compositions, and articles are disclosed. Such nanowires may be thicker than other nanowires and may be useful in devices requiring high electrical current densities.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Non-photosensitive direct thermographic materials comprise a reducing agent that is a catechol borate compound. These compounds can reduce silver(I) ion to metallic silver to produce a dense black silver image under the short time and high temperature conditions that occur when using thermal print-heads during direct thermal printing.
Abstract:
Photothermographic materials have increased photospeed provided by gold(III)-containing chemical sensitizers that are used combination with sulfur- and/or tellurium-containing chemical sensitizers. Increased photographic speed is achieved with minimal increase in Dmin. The gold(III)-containing chemical sensitizers are represented by the following Structure GOLD: Au(III)L′rYq GOLD wherein L′ represents the same or different ligands, each ligand comprising at least one heteroatom that is capable of forming a bond with gold, Y is an anion, r is an integer of from 1 to 8, and q is an integer of from 0 to 3.
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.
