Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dispersion for application of a metal layer on a substrate that is not electrically conductive, comprising an organic binder component, a metal component with different metals and/or metal particle shapes, and with a solvent component. The invention moreover relates to a process for preparation of the dispersion, to a process using the dispersion for production of a metal layer, if appropriate structured, and to the resultant substrate surfaces and their use.
Abstract:
A transparent conductor including a conductive layer coated on a substrate is described. More specifically, the conductive layer comprises a network of nanowires that may be embedded in a matrix. The conductive layer is optically clear, patternable and is suitable as a transparent electrode in visual display devices such as touch screens, liquid crystal displays, plasma display panels and the like.

Abstract:
A high thermal conductivity resin that has a host resin matrix, and a high thermal conductivity filler. The high thermal conductivity filler (30) forms a continuous organic-inorganic composite with the host resin matrix. The fillers are from 1-1000 nm in length, and have average aspect ratios of between 3-100. At least a portion of the high thermal conductivity fillers comprise morphologies (31) chosen from one or more of hexagonal, cubic, orthorhombic, rhombohedral, tetragonal, whiskers and tubes. In particular, some of the fillers will aggregate into secondary structures.
Abstract:
In one embodiment the present invention provides for a method of forming HTC dendritic fillers 40 within a host resin matrix that comprises adding HTC seeds 42 to the host resin matrix. The HTC seeds have been surface functionalized to not substantially react with one another. The seeds then accumulate HTC building blocks 42, and the HTC building blocks have also been surface functionalized to not substantially react with one another. Then assembling the HTC building blocks with the HTC seeds to produce HTC dendritic fillers 40 within the host resin matrix.
Abstract:
An electronic assembly comprising a first electronic element, a second electronic element, and a durably flexible bond therebetween. The bond comprises an anisotropic conductive adhesive that includes elongated electrically conductive particles. The bond provides at least one electrical pathway between the first electronic element and the second electronic element through an elongated contact region. This bond is functionally maintained for at least about 200 flexes.
Abstract:
Coupling components to an underlying substrate using a composition of a polymer and magnetic material particles. Upon applying the composition between the component and the printed circuit board, the composition may be subjected to a magnetic field to align the magnetic material particles into a conductive path between the component and the underlying substrate. At the same time the polymer-based material may be cured or otherwise solidified to affix the conductive path formed by the magnetic material particles.
