Abstract: Conductive films containing substrates, primer layers, and conductive layers are disclosed and claimed. Such conductive films can exhibit superior total light transmission, in some cases greater than that of the substrates themselves. These conductive films are useful in electronics applications.

Abstract: Transparent ink-jet recording films, compositions, and methods are disclosed. These compositions and methods can impart excellent adhesion properties between film layers and the transparent support. The films have improved appearance compared to similar high optical density films. Such improved appearance films are produced without requiring reduced drying process throughput. These films are useful for medical imaging.

Abstract: Photographic silver halide materials are prepared in a more economical and environmentally acceptable manner by using a specific matting agent in a adhesion-promoting layer between a polymeric support and one or more silver halide emulsion layers. The matting agent has an average particle size of at least 1 &mgr;m and up to about 10 &mgr;m and a glass transition temperature of at least 120° C. Specific matting agents are composed of a polymer represented by the following Structure I: wherein A represents recurring units derived from one or more polyfunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, and B represents recurring units derived from one or more monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomers, x is from about 5 to 100 weight %, and y is from 0 to about 95 weight %.

Abstract: Photographic silver halide materials are prepared in a more economical and environmentally acceptable manner by using a specific matting agent in a hydrophilic subbing layer between a polymeric support and one or more silver halide emulsion layers. The matting agent has an average particle size of at least 1 &mgr;m and up to about 10 &mgr;m and a glass transition temperature of at least 120° C.
