Abstract:
A solventless radiation curable stretchable ink composition including an aliphatic urethane monomer or oligomer; an acrylic ester monomer; a photoinitiator; and an optional colorant. A patterned article including a deformable substrate; an image printed on the deformable substrate, the image being formed from a radiation curable stretchable ink composition comprising an aliphatic urethane monomer or oligomer; an acrylic ester monomer; a photoinitiator; and an optional colorant.
Abstract:
A silver paste ink composition comprises a plurality of first particles comprising silver; a polymer binder; a carrier solvent; and a plurality of second particles comprising silver. The second particles are nanoparticles that are different than the first silver particles, the amount of second particles in the ink composition being sufficient to impart a first color to the uncured ink composition, the first color being different than the color of the same ink composition without the nanoparticles. The silver nanoparticles have a property of causing a change in the color of the ink composition when the ink composition is cured.
Abstract:
A silver flake conductive paste ink includes a silver flake conductive material; non-compressible, conductive particles having a rough morphology; a binder; and a solvent. The conductive paste ink is suitable for screen printing with lower cost and improved conductivity and lower resistivity as compared with conventional conductive inks.
