Abstract:
The invention discloses processes for thermal transfer patterning of a nanoparticle layer and a corresponding proximate portion of a carrier layer, and optionally additional transfer layers, together onto a thermal imaging receiver. The invention is useful for dry fabrication of electronic devices. Additional embodiments of the invention include multilayer thermal imaging donors comprising in layered sequence: a base film, a carrier layer and a nanoparticle layer. The carrier layer can be a dielectric or conducting layer. When the carrier layer is a dielectric layer, the base film includes a light attenuating agent in the form of a dye or pigment.
Abstract:
The invention is related to thermal imageable dielectric layers and thermal transfer donors and receivers comprising dielectric layers. The thermal transfer donors are useful in making electronic devices by thermal transfer of dielectric layers having excellent resistivity, good transfer properties and good adhesion to a variety of receivers.
Abstract:
Methods of forming a pattern of filled dielectric material on a substrate by thermal transfer processes are disclosed comprising exposing to heat a thermally imageable donor element comprising a substrate and a transfer layer of dielectric material. The exposure pattern is the image of the desired pattern to be formed on the substrate, such that portions of the layer of dielectric material are transferred onto the substrate where the electronic device is being formed. The filled dielectric material can be patterned onto a gate electrode of a thin film transistor. The pattern dielectric material may also form an insulating layer for interconnects. Donor elements for use in the process are also disclosed. Methods for forming thin film transistors and donor elements for use in the thermal transfer processes are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a powder coating composition comprising an intimate mixture of A1) at least one film forming resin binder, B1) 0.1 to 50 wt.%, based on total weight of the powder coating composition, of at least one modified encapsulated titanium dioxide, and C1) optionally, at least one crosslinking agent in an effective amount to cure said powder coating composition wherein the components A1), B1) and C1) are not reacted prior to being mixed together. The present invention provides a powder coating composition which exhibits improved appearance with regard to the coatings, particularly higher DOI (distinctness of image) which relates to reduced orange peel, lower haze and better flow as well as higher adhesion, impact resistance and durability of the coatings.

Abstract:
A pigment dispersion useful for forming coating compositions containing dispersed pigment, a carrier solvent and an aminated macromonomer dispersant (binder) is disclosed. The aminated macromonomer dispersant is preferably prepared by the reaction of terminally unsaturated macromonomers synthesized by cobalt-catalyzed chain transfer free radical polymerizations of methacrylic monomers with monomeric or oligomeric amines.
