Patent number: 9851823Abstract: A first polymer latex and second polymer latex can be mixed to form a dried primer layer on a substrate to adhere patterned materials having fine lines. The first polymer latex comprises a first polymer and a first surfactant such that a dried coating of the first polymer latex has a surface polarity of at least 50%. The second polymer latex comprises a second polymer and a second surfactant such that a dried coating of the second polymer latex has a surface polarity of less than or equal to 27%. Moreover, a dried coating of the mixture has a surface polarity of at least 15% and up to and including 50%. Primed substrates are useful for preparing electrically-conductive articles having electrically-conductive fine lines directly on a dried primer layer by applying a patterned material to a substrate. Such articles can be used as touch screen displays in various electronic devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2017Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: EASTMAN KODAK COMPANYInventors: Charles Leo Bauer, Christine Joanne Landry-Coltrain, James Stephen Honan, Brian Andrew Schell, Richard Thomas Kane

Patent number: 5695920Abstract: A coating composition that is useful for the preparation of an auxiliary layer of an imaging element, such as a photographic element, is comprised of an aqueous medium having dispersed therein film-forming polymeric particles and non-film-forming polymeric particles and is characterized in that the film-forming polymeric particles are acid-stable polyurethane particles. These coating compositions have excellent stability characteristics, provide auxiliary layers with improved chemical and physical properties when coated and dried to form a coalesced layer, and provide for reduced emission of volatile organic compounds during the drying process.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1996Date of Patent: December 9, 1997Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Charles Chester Anderson, Brian Andrew Schell, Yongcai Wang
