Abstract: Methods for processing deposited metal nanowire inks with metal ions are used to form fused metal nanostructured networks. The metal nanowire inks include a hydrophilic polymer binder, such as a cellulose based binder. The metal nanowire inks can be deposited onto a substrate surface and dried to drive the fusing process. Transparent conductive films can be formed with desirable properties.

Abstract: Photoactive organic ligands used to surface modify nanoparticles are described. The photo active organic ligands can be tailored to absorb radiation within a selected range of wavelengths. Upon absorption of radiation, the ligands react to alter the solubility of the ligand, and may be cleaved, and surface modification of the nanoparticles changes such that solubility of the nanoparticles changes. Coatings prepared with the surface modified nanoparticles can be radiation patterned and developed in accordance to methods described herein. Appropriate selection of a solvent as developer provides image formation facilitated by the difference in solubilities of the nanoparticles. Methods of radiation patterning the coatings are Luminescent nanoparticles surface modified with the photoactive organic ligands can be used to form down shifting light emission substrates suitable for use in electronic displays.

Abstract: A formable transparent conductive film are described that comprise a sparse metal conductive layer, a thermoplastic polymer substrate supporting the sparse metal conductive layer, a viscoelastic polymer with a thickness from about 15 microns to about 150 microns over the sparse metal conductive layer. A layered film structure can be formed that is suitable for contouring on the surface of a three dimensional object without unacceptable increases in sheet resistance and with good optical transparency and low haze. The formable films can be placed into a frozen configuration bent 90 degrees with a radius of curvature of no more than about 5 centimeters while exhibiting a surface resistance of no more than about 500 ohms/sq. with a total transmittance with respect to visible light of at least about 80%.

Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a conveyance unit that has a rotator in a vacuum container, and circulating carries a workpiece by the rotator along a circular conveyance path, a cylindrical member extended in a direction toward the conveyance path in the vacuum container, a window member that divides a gas space where a process gas is introduced and an exterior, and an antenna causing the process gas to generate inductive coupling plasma for plasma processing when power is applied. The cylindrical member is provided with an opposing part with the opening and faces the rotator, a dividing wall is provided between the opposing part and the rotator so as not to contact the opposing part and the rotator and not to move relative to the vacuum container, and the dividing wall is provided with an adjustment opening that faces the opening, and adjusts a range of the plasma processing.
