Printability

Publications of this kind are described as non-original. They are abstracting services and handbooks that catch the primary literature, condense the important contents, and make this information available (searchable). Secondary literature is not evaluated and is provided in both printable and electronic forms. Examples are Gmelin, Beilstein, Citations Chemisches Zentralblatt, Chemical Abstracts, or Science Citation Index handbooks include Houben-Weyl, and Landolt Bomstein. 

SO are not as readily printable. Both glassine and greaseproof papers have good oil resistance.

Vinyl backed packaging tapes are quite popular in Europe. The vinyl backing is commonly manufactured using a calendering process. Printability and smooth unwind of the tape rolls are amongst the desirable features of these tapes. 

Several approaches have been disclosed to make release coatings that can be printed with ink jet or laser jet printers (e.g., to make linerless labels). For example, Khatib and Langan [164] disclose a blend of two different acrylate functional silicones, one with a high level of acrylate functionality to provide the printability and one with a low level of acrylate functionality to provide easy PSA release. Lievre and Mirou [165] describe an aqueous blend of a crosslinkable silicone and poly(vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate) resins while Shipston and Rice describe a blend of acrylic resin and a surfactant [166]. 

The main fluids of interest with plastics are oxygen and water vapour (for packaging applications) and CO2 (for carbonated drinks applications). Fig. 1.13 and Fig. 1.14 illustrate the type of behaviour exhibited by a range of plastics. In some cases it is necessary to use multiple layers of plastics because no single plastic offers the combination of price, permeation resistance, printability, etc. required for the application. When multi-layers are used, an overall permeation constant for the composite wall may be obtained from... 

More recently. Gamier and coworkers used a printing technique to make OFETs on polymeric substrates [61]. Although printable field-effect transistors based on inorganic semiconductors have been reported as early as 1967 ]62], they did not come to any commercial development. We note, however, that in Gar-nier s device only the electrodes were actually printed.

Relatively small changes in comonomer content can result in significant changes in physical or chemical properties. Polymer resin manufacturers exploit such relationships to control the properties of their products. The composition of a copolymer controls properties such as stiffness, heat distortion temperature, printability, and solvent resistance. For example, polypropylene homopolymer is brittle at temperatures below approximately 0 °C however, when a few percent ethylene is incorporated into the polymer backbone, the embrittlement temperature of the resulting copolymer is reduced by 20 °C or more. 

When two or more monomers are polymerized into the same molecular chain they produce a copolymer, The distribution of monomers, in terms of their relative concentrations and placements, is responsible for controlling a copolymer s properties. Figure 5.8 illustrates five possible comonomer distributions for a copolymer comprising equal numbers of two types of monomer. The relative concentrations of the different monomers and the lengths of the various blocks can be varied widely. Relatively small changes in comonomer concentration and placement can result in significant changes in physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be modified include such diverse characteristics as extensibility, elastic recovery, modulus, heat resistance, printability, and solvent resistance. 

Films of polyolefins, polyamides and poly(vinylidene dichloride) are made using this technique. As most of the films are used for flexible packaging, further down-stream surface treatments are usually applied to improve performance. For example, aqueous polymer emulsions, e.g., poly(vinylidene dichloride), or delaminated clay particles improve the barrier properties as will metallising with aluminium vapour. Corona discharge, causing slight surface oxidation, improves printability. 

Adhesion or printability of polymeric surfaces, including films, is often promoted by plasma or glow discharge treatment. In particular for apolar (low surface energy) surfaces such as polyolefins this is a commonly applied procedure. As a practical industrial example, the adhesion behaviour of polypropylenes after...

In 1913, the renowned chemist William Henry Perkin became interested in the problem of reducing the high flammability of a then popular fabric known as "flannelette" and in the process of his work first defined the most important requirements for a fire retardant fabric which included properties such as durability, feel, non-poisonous nature, low cost and printability after treatment. The Perkins treatment consisted of...
