Abstract: In an embodiment, a dielectric composite comprises a thermoset derived from a functionalized poly(arylene ether). a triallyl (iso)cyanurate, and a functionalized block copolymer; a hydrophobized fused silica; and a reinforcing fabric. The dielectric composite can be prepared by forming a thermosetting composition comprising the methacrylate functionalized poly(arylene ether), the triallyl (iso)cyanurate, the functionalized block copolymer, the hydrophobized fused silica, an initiator, and a solvent; coating the reinforcing fabric with the thermosetting composition; at least partially curing the thermosetting composition to form a prepreg; and optionally laminating the prepreg and at least one electrically conductive layer to form the circuit material.

Abstract: A luminous touch screen includes a light guide having a light extracting feature on a first major surface and an interstitial layer on a second major surface. A touch screen overlies the interstitial layer. The light guide has an index of refraction, n1, the interstitial layer has an index of refraction, n2, and n1>n2. The interstitial layer is preferably a layer of resin bearing ink, which is cured or dried after deposition.

Abstract: A light guide includes a transparent sheet exhibiting total internal reflection in at least one direction and phosphor printed on the transparent sheet. The phosphor extracts light from the transparent sheet when the sheet is edge-lit and converts the light from one wavelength to another wavelength. The phosphor is pressed into the surface of the sheet after heating the surface to its softening temperature.
