Method of producing electrically conductive articles
First Claim
1. THE METHOD OF PRODUCING A BENT ARTICLE COMPRISING A TRANSPARENT ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE COATING ON A PLASTIC SHEET WHICH HAS RELEASEABLE VOLATILE MATERIALS CONTAINED THEREIN THAT NORMALLY TEND TO PREVENT STRONG ADHERENT COATINGS FROM BEING APPLIED TO THE SHEET, WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF DEPOSITING UPON THE PLASTIC SHEET A SEALER COATING WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPERVIOUS TO THE VOLATILE MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THE SHEET, DEPOSITING AN ADHESIVE LAYER FORMED OF A METALLIC OXIDE IN CONTACT WITH THE SEALER COATING, DEPOSITING A TRANSPARENT ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE FILM ON THE ADHESIVE LAYER, HEATING THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE ABOVE THE NORMAL TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE SHEET WILL BE HEATED BY THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FILM WHEN POWER IS PASSED THERETHROUGH DURING OPERATION, PLACING ELECTRODES IN CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE FILM AT THE ELEVATED TEMPERATURE, ALLOWING THE ARTICLE TO COOL TO PLACE THE ELECTRODES IN COMPRESSION SUCH THAT THEY WILL REMAIN IN COMPRESSION WHEN THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE IS HEATED BY THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FILM TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE, AND BENDING THE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE TO PLACE THE ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FILM IN COMPRESSION.
