Abstract:
A method for producing one or more patterned metal objects on a substrate comprising the steps of:a) applying a metal composition on a thermally resistant temporary substrate in the patterns of the one or more patterned metal objects; b) curing said metal composition at a temperature below about 450Â° C. for a time less than about 30 minutes to form the one or more patterned metal objects; c) transferring the one or more patterned metal objects from said temporary substrate to one side of the substrate without the use of a separately supplied adhesive wherein said metal composition is comprised of one or more metal powders in a reactive organic medium, said reactive organic medium consisting of one or more components selected from the group consisting of metallo-organic compounds which can decompose into elemental metal and volatile organic fragments, reagents which can react with said one or more metal powders to form metallo-organic compounds which can decompose into elemental metal and volatile organic fragments, and mixtures thereof.
