Abstract:
A transparent conductor, a method of fabricating the same, and an optical display, the transparent conductor including a base layer; and a conductive layer on the base layer, the conductive layer including metal nanowires and a matrix, wherein the matrix is prepared from a matrix composition, the matrix composition including inorganic hollow particles, a fluorine-containing monomer, or a mixture thereof.
Abstract:
An electronic device may have housing structures, electrical components, and other electronic device structures. Adhesive may be used to join electronic device structures. Adhesive may be dispensed as liquid adhesive and cured to form adhesive joints. Adhesive joints may be debonded. Chain reactions may be initiated by applying a localized initiator such as a chemical or localized energy to the adhesive. Once initiated, the chain reaction may spread throughout the adhesive to cure the adhesive, to globally change adhesive viscosity, or to weaken the adhesive to facilitate debonding. Local changes to adhesive may also be made such as local increases and decreases to adhesive viscosity. Chain reaction curing may be used to cure adhesive or debond adhesive that is hidden from view within gaps in the electronic device structures. Viscosity changes may be used to control where adhesive flows.

A reinforced laminate comprising: (a) at least one matrix material; and (b) at least one fabric comprising at least one fiber strand comprising a plurality of fibers and having a resin compatible coating composition on at least a surface of the at least one fiber strand, wherein the at least one fiber strand has an Air Jet Transport Drag Force value of greater than 100,000 gram force per gram mass of strand as determined by a needle air jet nozzle unit having an internal air jet chamber having a diameter of 0.2 millimeters and a nozzle exit tube having a length of 20 centimeters at a strand feed rate of 274 meters per minute and an air pressure of 310 kiloPascals.
Abstract:
A flame retardant, low dielectric constant, controlled coefficient of thermal expansion, low cost prepreg material which includes randomly distributed silane coated hollow microspheres has been prepared by standard impregnation and lamination techniques. Laminates made of this prepreg can be drilled cleanly for through holes and can be used as a substrate for surface mounted devices.
