Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition of matter comprising predominantly silver metal microribbons, wherein the microribbons are at least 1 micron in length x 0.1 to 0.5 microns in width x 0.05 to 0.5 microns in height. It further relates to a method of making predominantly silver microribbons comprising providing a reducible silver salt, contacting the reducible silver salt with a fogging agent to form latent image silver centers; reducing the reducible silver salt into silver metal using a reducing agent, supplying a polymer that is soluble in a non-aqueous solvent, and a non-aqueous solvent; allowing the growth of the microribbons in the presence of the polymer and non-aqueous solvent

Abstract:
This invention relates to a composition comprising associated predominantly silver nanoparticles, and a method of making said nanoparticles by mixing a polymer (e.g. Butvar), a reducing agent (e.g. an amine), which reduces silver solvent (e.g. acetone). It further relates to conductive (e.g. LCD-articles) or antimicrobial articles comprising said nanoparticles.

Abstract:
A method of processing photographic color papers is carried out using an aqueous single-part photographic bleach-fixing composition in a bleach-fixing step for less than 60 seconds. The single-part bleach-fixing composition has a pH of from from 4.4 to 5.4. It comprises at least 0.1 mol/l of an iron ammonium-ligand photographic bleaching agent that comprises at least 95 mol % a ferric ammonium-ligand photographic bleaching agent provided that the ligand in the bleaching agent is not diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, at least 0.1 mol/l of a thiosulfate as the sole photographic fixing agent, and sulfite ions present in an amount sufficient to convert at least 50 mol % of the ferric ammonium-ligand photographic bleaching agent to ferrous ammonium-ligand compound within 30 days at 20 to 45°C. At least 90 mol % of the total ammonium and alkali metal cations in the bleach-fixing composition are ammonium ions.
