Abstract:
The use of metal antimonates at high metal antimonate to binder ratios in buried backside conductive layers of thermographic and photothermographic materials allows the use of thin backside overcoat layers. The combination provides antistatic constructions having excellent antistatic properties that show less change in resistivity with changes in humidity. The thin backside overcoat layer serves to protect the buried antistatic layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods that provide flexible transparent conductive films that exhibit low levels of oligomer migration and haze development, without making use of costly substrates based on PEN film or PET films having low oligomer content. Such flexible transparent conductive films are useful in electronic and optical applications.

Abstract:
Thermally developable materials that comprise a support have an antistatic backside layer that includes a quaternary ammonium salt. The same or different backside layer can also include another antistatic agent such as conductive metal particles or conductive polymers. These thermally developable materials include both thermographic and photothermographic materials that can be suitably imaged to provide images useful for medical diagnoses.
Abstract:
Backside conductive layers with increased conductive efficiency can be provided for thermally developable materials by formulating hydrophilic metal oxide clusters in a hydrophobic environment using low shear mixing conditions. The dry thickness and coating weight of the conductive layer are thereby reduced.
Abstract:
Nonpolymeric fluorochemicals defined as by the following Structure I are useful in thermally developable materials. The fluorochemicals are defined as follows: Rf—R—N(R1)(R2)(R3)+X− (I) wherein Rf is a straight or branched chain perfluoroalkyl group having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, R is a divalent linking group comprising at least 4 carbon atoms and a sulfide group in the chain, R1, R2, R3 are independently hydrogen or alkyl groups or any two of R1, R2, and R3 taken together can represent the carbon and nitrogen atoms necessary to provide a 5- to 7-membered heterocyclic ring with the cationic nitrogen atom, and X− is a monovalent anion.
Abstract:
A photothermographic material that comprises a support having thereon one or more thermally-developable imaging layers comprising a binder and in reactive association, a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive source of reducible silver ions, and a reducing composition for the non-photosensitive source reducible silver ions. The thermally-developable layers further comprises one or more radiation absorbing compounds that provide a total absorbance of greater than 0.6 and up to and including 3 in the thermally-developable imaging layer(s). These photothermographic materials exhibit reduced mottle without significant loss in sensitivity.
Abstract:
Thermally developable materials that comprise a support have at least two backside layers. One of these layers can be a protective layer comprising a film-forming polymer. The materials also includes a non-imaging backside conductive layer comprising non-acicular metal antimonate particles in a mixture of two or more polymers that includes a first polymer serving to promote adhesion of the backside conductive layer directly to the support or other layers, and a second polymer that is different than and forms a single phase mixture with the first polymer.
