Abstract:
Provided is a method of patterning a substrate. The method includes depositing, in a first predetermined pattern, hydrophobic material on a first surface of a hydrophilic substrate. The method includes permeating the hydrophobic material through a thickness of the substrate without reflowing the deposited hydrophobic material. The method includes sufficiently solidifying the permeated hydrophobic material. The sufficiently solidified hydrophobic material forms a liquid-impervious barrier that separates the substrate into at least one discrete region.

Abstract:
A crosslinked siloxane composition contains the polymerization product of a mixture containing from about 2 to about 12 alkoxysilane precursor materials, where at least one of the alkoxysilane precursor materials is a hydrophilic alkoxysilane precursor material, and at least one of the alkoxysilane precursor materials is a hydrophobic alkoxysilane precursor material. A method of printing an image to a substrate involves applying an inkjet ink to an intermediate transfer member using an inkjet printhead, spreading the ink onto the transfer member, inducing a property change of the ink, and transferring the ink to a substrate, where the intermediate transfer member comprises a crosslinked siloxane composition containing the polymerization product of a mixture comprising from about 2 to about 12 alkoxysilane precursor materials, where at least one of the precursor materials is hydrophilic and at least one is hydrophobic.
