A photocurable composition is capable of forming a cured product that has good reliability in a high-temperature constant-humidity environment, especially good ion migration resistance in a temperature range of 100° C. or higher. The photocurable composition (Z) is obtained by adding an ion scavenger (Y) to a composition (X) containing a monofunctional acrylic monomer (A) and a multifunctional acrylic monomer (B), wherein the content of the monofunctional acrylic monomer (A) relative to 100 wt% of the composition (X) is from 40 wt% to 80 wt%, and the content of the multifunctional acrylic monomer (B) relative to 100 wt% of the composition (X) is from 10 wt% to 50 wt%. An inkjet ink composition contains the photocurable composition (Z); a cured product; and an electronic component.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of thin silver nano-particles containing layers, which are produced directly on a substrate as part of a coating or printing process. The layers can show different colours in transmittance and reflectance. The invention further relates to decorative and security elements. When the layers are applied over a security element, such as a hologram, the obtained products may show different colours in reflection and transmission, an extremely bright optically variable image (OVD image). Depending on the thickness of the layer a more or less intensive metallic aspect appears.
