The present invention relates to a medical wristband with invisible information and a method for manufacturing the same. The conventional developed dyes or inks in the prior art can store information which, however, is visible. In the present invention, polystyrene (PS) microspheres are prepared by micro-emulsification: PS particles are dissolved in a toluene solution and a fluorescent dye is added to obtain a fluorescent solution; an SDS solution is added in and mixed with the fluorescent solution to obtain a system to be ultrasonically emulsified; and the system is ultrasonically emulsified and the toluene is completely volatilized. The ink can be used directly as an invisible ink. The information is written, as two-dimensional codes and by the ink, on a piece of non-fluorescent paper, and plastic-packaged onto a wristband of a patient. Information about a patient can be successfully scanned in the ease of UV on.

A method of forming a conductive film. The method includes applying an ink onto a substrate. The ink includes a plurality of nanostructures formed from an electrically-conductive material and a polymer binder. The method includes drying the ink on the substrate. The method includes applying an overcoat material solution onto the dried ink. The overcoat solution includes at least some solvent suitable to provide at least some solubility of the binder. Also, a conductive film that includes a substrate, a matrix on the substrate, and a plurality of nanostructures within the matrix. The matrix is provided as a resultant of a polymer binder present within an ink that carried the nanostructures that was applied and dried upon the substrate, a dried/cured overcoat material that that was applied on the dried ink layer in the form of a coating solution that included a polymer and at least some solvent to provide at least some solubility of the binder, with the binder being at least partially dissolved.

The present invention provides photoluminescent iron-doped barium stannate materials absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light and exhibiting strong near-infrared (NIR) luminescence. Such materials exhibit increased integrated photoluminescence intensity in comparison to known BaSnO.sub.3 and iron-doped barium stannate materials, and therefore they are particularly useful for the production of photoluminescent security ink compositions and transparent covert security features with improved anti-counterfeiting resistance that can be used for protection of documents and articles against counterfeit and illegal reproduction.
