  • U.V. Radiation curable electrically conductive ink and circuit boards made therewith
    Patent number: 4088801
    Abstract: A method is provided for making circuit boards having improved stability and articles made therefrom. In addition, UV-curable ink compositions are also provided convertible to conductive strips when printed onto nonconducting substrates and cured thereon. The conductive strips have improved resistance to salt contamination.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 1976
    Date of Patent: May 9, 1978
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Donald A. Bolon, Gary M. Lucas, Siegfried H. Schroeter
  • Method for coating photoflash lamps
    Patent number: 4076489
    Abstract: A method for coating photoflash lamps with UV curable solventless organic resins having desirable transmission characteristics in the cured state to render the lamps shatter resistant upon flashing wherein the photoflash lamp is dipped into resin for a period of 3-60 seconds followed by UV irradiation of the treated lamp to cure the resin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 1977
    Date of Patent: February 28, 1978
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Siegfried H. Schroeter, Donald A. Bolon, Gary M. Lucas
  • Method for making a circuit board and article made thereby
    Patent number: 4049844
    Abstract: A method is provided for making a circuit board involving the screen printing of a radiation curable ink onto the surface of a substrate followed by the radiation cure of the ink. A photoflash circuit board array made by such method is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Radiation curable inks
    Patent number: 3989644
    Abstract: A radiation curable ink is provided which is convertible to a conductive coating when cured on the surface of a substrate. A non-ionic surfactant is used in the curable ink in combination with a particulated metal containing conductive filler and an organic resin binder. As a result of using the non-ionic surfactant there was achieved a reduction in the tendency of the curable ink to form two distinct layers based on the separation of the conductive filler from the organic resin binder.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for making a circuit board and article made thereby
    Patent number: 3988647
    Abstract: A circuit board having a photoflash array is provided based on the screen printing of a radiation curable ink onto the surface of a substrate followed by the radiation cure of the ink.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1974
    Date of Patent: October 26, 1976

  • Radiation curable inks
    Patent number: 3968056
    Abstract: A radiation curable ink is provided which is convertible to a conductive coating when cured on the surface of a substrate. A particulated electrically conductive metal containing material is used in combination with an organic resin binder. Low temperature cure of the ink can be achieved with either actinic or ionizing radiation.

  • Radiation curable inks
    Patent number: 3957694
    Abstract: A radiation curable ink is provided which is convertible to a conductive coating when cured on the surface of a substrate. When used as a printing ink, improved results are achieved if a minor amount of a blend of paraffin waxes is employed to control solvent evaporation.
