  • Method and materials for transferring a material onto a plasma treated surface according to a pattern
    Publication number: 20030124265
    Abstract: A method of transferring a transfer element of a donor sheet to a receptor includes forming an organic layer on a receptor substrate and forming a transfer element on a donor sheet, where the exposed surface of the transfer element is organic. Either the surface of the organic layer or the exposed surface of the transfer element (or both) is roughened using a plasma treatment. The transfer element of the donor sheet is then selectively thermally transferred to the surface of the organic layer.
