Nach dem Trocknen wird die lösliche Druckfarbe mittels eines geeigneten
Lösungsmittels, vorzugsweise Wasser, gegebenenfalls kombiniert mit
mechanischer Einwirkung, entfernt.
Gegebenenfalls können durch ein- oder mehrmalige Wiederholung des
Vorgangs mit entsprechenden Druckfarben, die unterschiedliche Farbstoffe

Die Aufbringung der elektrisch leitfähigen Schicht kann beispielsweise durch bekannte Demetallisierungsverfahren unter Verwendung eines Ätzmittels oder vorzugsweise einer löslichen Waschfarbe erfolgen. The application of the electrically conductive layer can, for example, by known demetallization method using an etchant or preferably a soluble wash color.

Als handelsübliche elektrische leitfähige Polymersuspension ist beispielsweise
Baytron® P der Fa. H.C. Stark einsetzbar. Als Dispersionsmittel kommen
beispielsweise inerte Lösungsmittel, vorzugsweise wässrige Lösungsmittel oder
Alkohole, wie i-Propanol in Frage. Gegebenenfalls können den
Polymerdispersionen auch Matrixpolymere, beispielsweise wasserlösliche
Polyester, Polyurethane, Polystyrolsulfonate, Polyacrylate oder
Ethylenacrylatcopolymere als Matrixpolymere zugesetzt werden.
Beispielsweise kann Polyethylendioxythiophen mit Polystyrolsulfonat als
Matrixpolymer verwendet werden.
Es werden aber bevorzugt die Monomere bzw. Vorpolymere zur Bildung der
elektrisch leitfähigen Polymere aufgebracht und in situ polymerisiert. For example, Baytron® P from the company HC Stark can be used as a commercial electrical conductive polymer suspension. Suitable dispersants are, for example, inert solvents, preferably aqueous solvents or alcohols, such as i-propanol. If desired, it is also possible to add matrix polymers, for example water-soluble polyesters, polyurethanes, polystyrene sulfonates, polyacrylates or ethylene acrylate copolymers, as matrix polymers to the polymer dispersions.
For example, polyethylenedioxythiophene can be used with polystyrene sulfonate as the matrix polymer.
However, the monomers or prepolymers are preferably applied to form the electrically conductive polymers and polymerized in situ.
Dabei können als Initiator und/oder Katalysator sowohl radikalische, als auch Redox- oder Photo-Initiator und/oder Katalysatoren und/oder -Katalysatoren, beispielsweise UV-Initiatoren, verwendet werden.In this case, as an initiator and / or catalyst both radical, and Redox or photo-initiator and / or catalysts and / or catalysts, For example, UV initiators are used.

Dispersionsmittel bereitgestellt, beispielsweise in einem Alkohol, wie Propanol oder n-Butanol.Both monomer and initiator and / or catalyst and / or catalyst are preferably provided in a solvent or dispersion medium, for example, in an alcohol such as propanol or n-butanol.
Besonders bevorzugt wird als Initiator/Katalysator Fe(III)toluolsulfonat verwendet. Fe(III)toluolsulfonat ist ein radikalischer Initiator bzw. Katalysator, der zugleich eine Redoxreaktion bei der Polymerisation initiiert. Das Fe(III)-Ion wirkt als Initiator und das Toluolsolfonat bildet im leitfähigen Polymer die MatrixParticularly preferred initiator / catalyst is Fe (III) toluenesulfonate used. Fe (III) toluenesulfonate is a radical initiator or catalyst, which at the same time initiates a redox reaction during the polymerization. The Fe (III) ion acts as an initiator and the toluenesulfonate forms the matrix in the conductive polymer
Die elektrisch leitfähigen Polymerschichten können auch pigmentiert sein, wobei alle bekannten Pigmente geeignet sind. Soll die Transparenz nicht deutlich beeinflusst werden, sind allerdings stark deckende bzw. färbende Pigmente wie Ruß oder Graphit nicht geeignet.The electrically conductive polymer layers can also be pigmented, all known pigments are suitable.

Gegebenenfalls kann das Trägermaterial vorher zur Verbesserung der Haftung des verwendeten leitfähigen Polymers mit einem Haftvermittler behandelt werden. Im Allgemeinen ist jedoch insbesondere bei der Verwendung der in situ Polymerisation der Monomere bzw. Vorpolymere die Haftung der elektrisch leitfähigen Polymere auf allen Trägersubstraten durchaus mehr als befriedigend.Optionally, the substrate may be previously to improve adhesion the conductive polymer used is treated with a coupling agent become. In general, however, especially when using the in situ Polymerization of the monomers or prepolymers the adhesion of the electrically conductive polymers on all carrier substrates quite more than satisfying.
Die magnetischen Eigenschaften der Schicht können beispielsweise mit bekannten Magnetpigmentfarben erzeugt werden. Besonders geeignet zur Herstellung von Schichten mit gegebenenfalls variierbaren magnetischen Eigenschaften sind Magnetfarben, die in der Lage sind ein magnetisches Feld mit hoher Flussdichte hervorzurufen. Der messbare Gradient des magnetischen Flusses wird dann durch Dickenmodulation der magnetischen Schichten erzeugt.The magnetic properties of the layer can, for example, with known magnetic pigment colors are generated. Especially suitable for Production of layers with optionally variable magnetic Properties are magnetic colors that are capable of a magnetic field to cause high flux density. The measurable gradient of the magnetic Flow is then through thickness modulation of the magnetic layers generated.
Besonders geeignet sind Magnetpigmentfarben mit Pigmenten auf Basis von Fe-oxiden, wie Fe2O3 oder Fe3O4, Eisen, Nickel, Cobalt und deren Legierungen, Barium oder Cobalt-ferrite, hart- und weich magnetische Eisen- und Stahlsorten in wässrigen bzw. lösungsmittelhaltigen Dispersionen.

Insbesondere geeignet sind Magnetfarben mit Pigmenten auf Basis von Cr/Ni-Stahl.
Diese Magnetfarben zeigen im Gegensatz zu den konventionellen
Magnetfarben, die schwarz, braun oder grau erscheinen, ein silbriges
Erscheinungsbild und weisen gleichzeitig die oben beschriebenen
erforderlichen magnetischen Eigenschaften auf.
Dadurch ist es möglich, das für viele Anwendungen erwünschte bzw.
erforderliche metallisch glänzende Erscheinungsbild in einem Arbeitsgang
bereits durch Verdrucken dieser Magnetfarben zu erzeugen. Ein Überdrucken
bzw. Beschichten mit metallischen oder Metall-Schichten zur Erzeugung des
gewünschten Erscheinungsbildes ist daher nicht nötig, kann aber
beispielsweise zur Einbringung weiterer Identifikationsmerkmale problemlos
erfolgen.Particularly suitable are magnetic paints with pigments based on Cr / Ni steel. These magnetic colors, in contrast to the conventional magnetic colors, which appear black, brown or gray, have a silvery appearance and at the same time have the required magnetic properties described above.
This makes it possible to produce the desired or required for many applications shiny metallic appearance in one operation already by printing these magnetic colors. Overprinting or coating with metallic or metal layers to produce the desired appearance is therefore not necessary, but can be done easily, for example, to introduce additional identification features.
Ferner können optisch wirksamen Strukturen auf dem Trägersubstrat vorhanden sein, die auf jeweils jede bekannte Weise hergestellt werden können.
