Article with metal grid composite and methods of preparing

摘要

A laminate donor element can be used to transfer a composite of a metal grid and an electronically conductive polymer to a receiver sheet for use in various devices. The laminate donor element has a donor substrate, a metal grid that is disposed over only portions of the donor substrate, leaving portions of the substrate uncovered by the metal grid, and an electronically conductive polymer that covers the portions of the donor substrate that are uncovered by the metal grid. The composite of metal grid and electronically conductive polymer exhibits a peel force of less than or equal to 40 g/cm for separation from the donor substrate at room temperature. The resulting article has a substrate on which a reverse composite of the metal grid and electronically conductive polymer is disposed, which article can be incorporated into various devices.

主权项

1. An article comprising an article substrate, having thereon, in order, an adhesive layer and a composite comprising an electronically conductive polymer layer and a metal grid such that the metal grid is disposed over the adhesive layer and voids of the metal grid are filled by the electronically conductive polymer, and at least some of the metal grid is uncovered by the electronically conductive polymer.
