Abstract:
An article and method for its preparation is disclosed wherein the article comprises a substrate having at least one planar surface on which is disposed a thermally decomposable metallo-organic compound in active association with a photosensitive dye. The article can be easily processed with, for example, a source of energy such as a laser beam to encode information or produce electroconductive lines.
Abstract:
A process for making PBZ fibers of ultra-high physical properties is given. Polybenzoxazole fibers made by the process of this invention have tensile strengths nearly double in value from what has been reported previously.
Abstract:
The present invention is a liquid crystal display device comprising a color filter which comprises: a) a transparent substrate (10); b) an opaque material (12) disposed as a pattern on a major surface of the substrate, which pattern defines borders within which a coloring agent (16) or agents can be received; c) a silicate layer (14) superposing the opaque material, the silicate layer having reactive sites; d) a sufficient concentration of organosiloxane groups bonded to the reactive sites of the silicate layer to render the opaque material dispersion inhibiting; and e) at least one coloring agent disposed within the borders defined by the opaque material. In another aspect, the present invention is a method of preparing a color filter for a liquid crystal display device that comprises organosiloxane groups bonded to the surface of a black material disposed on a transparent substrate in such a manner as to form borders for wells or channels adapted to receive coloring materials, the bonded organosiloxane groups being prepared by the steps of: a) exposing the black material to a silicon tetrahalide and sufficient water to form a silicate layer on the opaque material; b) contacting the silicate layer with an organosiloxating reagent to form organosiloxane groups bonded to the silicate layer; and c) disposing a coloring agent into at least one well or channel. The present invention provides an effective means of creating dispersion-preventing patterns for color filters in LCDs.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nonlinear optical materials comprising aminoaryl hydrazones and to nonlinear optical polymeric compositions containing recurring covalently bonded moieties derived from the aminoaryl hydrazones of the invention. The polymeric compositions of the present invention have high glass transition temperatures and exhibit stable nonlinear optical activity at high temperatures over a period of time.

Abstract:
The present invention is an amorphous saturated hydrocarbon thermoplastic substrate having enhanced adhesion properties, wherein the enhanced adhesion properties are obtained by treating the surface of the amorphous saturated hydrocarbon thermoplastic substrate with an excited gas phase technique, such that a critical surface energy of at least 35 dyne/cm is obtained without the use of acids or other corrosive materials which cause equipment degradation.
