Abstract:
Method for producing electrically conductive, structured or whole-area surfaces on a carrier, in which a first step involves applying a structured or whole-area base layer to the carrier with a dispersion containing electrically conductive particles in a matrix material, a second step involves at least partly curing or drying the matrix material, a third step involves uncovering the electrically conductive particles by at least partly breaking up the matrix, and a fourth step involves forming a metal layer on the structured or whole-area base layer by means of electroless or electrolytic coating.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixture, comprising a detergent and a co-detergent, whereby the co-detergent is an ampiphilic polymer, comprising one or more hydrophobic sub-groups (A) and one or more hydrophilic sub-groups (B), characterised in that one or more hydrophobic sub-groups (A) are formed from a polyisobutene block, the polyisobutene macromolecules of which comprise at least 50 mol % terminally-arranged double bonds.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dispersion for applying a metal layer to an electrically non-conductive substrate containing an organic binder component, a metal component with different metals and/or metal particle shapes, and a solvent component. The invention further relates to methods for producing said dispersion, methods for creating an optionally structured metal layer with the aid of the dispersion, the obtained substrate surfaces, and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing electrodes for solar cells, the electrode being designed as an electrically conducting layer on a substrate (1) for solar cells. In a first step, a dispersion containing electrically conducting particles is transferred from a support (7) onto the substrate (1) by irradiation of the dispersion with a laser (9), and in a second step, the dispersion transferred onto the substrate (1) is dried and/or cured to form the electrically conducting layer.

The invention relates to a dispersion for applying a metal layer to an electrically non-conductive substrate, said dispersion containing an organic binder component, a metal component and a solvent component. The invention further relates to methods for producing said dispersion, to methods for producing an optionally structured metal layer using said dispersion and to the substrate surfaces obtained in said manner and the use thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing a metallised textile surface comprising at least one element which requires or generates an electric current, said method being characterised in that: (A) a formulation containing at least one metallic powder as a constituent is applied to a textile surface, extensively or in such a way as to form a pattern; (B) at least one element which requires or generates an electric current is fixed to at least two points to which the formulation was applied in step (A), and (C) another metal is deposited on the textile surfaces.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixture which comprises a surfactant and a cosurfactant and which is characterized in that an amphiphilic comb polymer is used as the cosurfactant. Said comb polymer has a backbone with two or more side chains attached to the backbone, whereby the side chains differ in terms of their amphiphilic character and/or the side chains differ from the backbone in terms of their amphiphilic character.
