Abstract: A manufacturing method of a patterned transparent conductor includes: (1) providing a transparent conductor including nanowires formed of a metal; and (2) applying a percolation-inhibition composition to a portion of the transparent conductor to partially degrade nanowires included in the portion. The percolation-inhibition composition includes a complexing agent for the metal.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a wash-durable textile article comprising a textile substrate, an antimicrobial metal nanoparticle, and a linking agent chemically bonding to the antimicrobial metal nanoparticle to the textile substrate. In addition, this invention also includes a method of manufacturing a wash-durable antimicrobial textile, the method comprising the steps of providing an antimicrobial metal nanoparticle, reacting the antimicrobial metal nanoparticle with a linking agent to provide a functionalized antimicrobial metal nanoparticle, and reacting the functionalized antimicrobial metal nanoparticle with a textile substrate to cause the linking agent to attach to the textile substrate to thereby form a wash-durable antimicrobial textile article.

Abstract: Substrates that exhibit antimicrobial and/or antifungal characteristics that persist through the useful life of the substrate, and more particularly textile substrates infused with or covalently bound to well-dispersed antimicrobial nanoparticles, such as silver and/or copper nanoparticles, which exhibit persistent and demonstrable bacteriocidal, bacteriostatic, fungicidal, fungistatic behavior through numerous wash cycles. Methods of manufacturing such substrates are also provided.
