Abstract: The invention discloses processes for thermal transfer patterning of a nanoparticle layer and a corresponding proximate portion of a carrier layer, and optionally additional transfer layers, together onto a thermal imaging receiver. The invention is useful for dry fabrication of electronic devices. Additional embodiments of the invention include multilayer thermal imaging donors comprising in layered sequence: a base film, a carrier layer and a nanoparticle layer. The carrier layer can be a dielectric or conducting layer. When the carrier layer is a dielectric layer, the base film includes a light attenuating agent in the form of a dye or pigment.

Abstract: Provided are processes for enhancing the resolution of a thermally transferred pattern on an imaged thermal transfer receiver, wherein the imaged thermal transfer receiver comprises a surface having an exposed portion and a non-exposed portion of one or more thermally transferred layer(s), comprising: (a) contacting said surface with an adhesive layer for a contact period to provide a laminate; (b) separating said adhesive layer from the laminate to provide a treated thermal transfer receiver having a surface substantially free of said non-exposed portion of one or more thermally transferred layer(s). The processes are useful in the fabrication of electronic devices including thin film transistors, circuits, electromagnetic interference shields, touchpad sensors and other electronic devices.

Abstract: The invention pertains to aqueous blends of colloidally dispersed polymers for use in making organic coatings which are hard and ductile at ambient temperature, which coatings remain stiff and elastic at temperatures well above their film-formation or drying temperature. In particular, the invention relates to specific combinations or thermoplastic blends of polymers of very high molecular weights. Such blends produce smooth, essentially crack-free coatings when dried conventionally under atmospheric pressure. Such blends are capable of developing the desired balance of properties without conventional amounts of volatile organic coalescing aids and without the need for chemical cure.
