Reflective layers for electronic devices

Abstract: Reflective electronic layers are provided for electronic devices, such as electroluminescent lamps, photovoltaic devices, and light emitting diodes. Processes for forming such reflective layers are also provided. The reflective layers comprise metallic particles that optionally are coated.

Dispersion, coating composition, and recording medium containing silica mixture

Abstract: The invention provides an aqueous dispersion comprising fumed silica particles, colloidal silica particles, and water. The fumed silica particles have a BET surface area of about 70 to about 140 m2/g, and the colloidal silica particles have a BET surface area of about 110 to about 150 m2/g. Also, the total amount of silica in the dispersion is about 35% to about 60% by weight, and the fumed silica particles comprise about 25% to about 80% by weight of the total amount of silica in the dispersion. The invention also provides a coating composition and a recording medium incorporating the inventive dispersion.

Pattern Formation of Charged Particles in an Electric Field

Abstract: The application of an electric field to a suspension of charged particles can lead to the formation of patterns due to electrohydrodynamic instabilities which remain poorly understood. We elucidate this behavior by visualizing the dynamics of charged carbon black particles suspended in a nonpolar solvent in response to an electric field. As the particles are transported across a microfluidic channel, an instability occurs in which the initially uniform, rapidly advancing particle front develops fingers. Furthermore, when the direction of the applied field is repeatedly switched, the particles localize into a remarkably well-defined periodic pattern which reflects an interplay between the fingering instability and particle diffusion.

Substantially transparent material for use with light-emitting device

Abstract: The invention provides a substantially transparent material comprising particles of an inorganic titanate or an inorganic zirconate and at least one compound, wherein the particles are uniformly dispersed in the at least one compound, and wherein the particles are bonded to the at least one compound via at least one surface functional group of the particles. The invention also provides a light emitting device comprising a light emitting diode encapsulated with the substantially transparent material.
