A printing system is disclosed for thermal transfer printing onto a surface of a substrate. The system comprises a transfer member having opposite front and rear sides with an imaging surface on the front side, a coating station at which a monolayer of particles made of, or coated with, a thermoplastic polymer is applied to the imaging surface, an imaging station at which energy is applied by a thermal print head via the rear side of the transfer member to selected regions of the imaging surface to render particles coating the selected regions tacky, and a transfer station at which the imaging surface of the transfer member and the substrate surface are pressed against each other to cause transfer to the surface of the substrate of the particles that have been rendered tacky.

There is disclosed a layered article that can be used in indirect printing, in analog or digital processes. The layered article, when configured as a transfer member, may serve to receive an ink in any form, allow the ink to be treated so as to form an ink image, and permit the application of the ink image on a substrate. The transfer member comprises a support layer and an imaging layer, which may be formed of a silicon matrix including dispersed carbon black particles. Methods for preparing the same are also disclosed.

Room temperature-vulcanizing silane-containing resin compositions are described, containing: (A) 100 parts by mass of a silane-modified polybutadiene compound represented by formula (1) ##STR00001##
(B) 0.5 to 20 parts by mass of a hydrolyzable organosilane compound having in each molecule an average of at least two silicon atom-bonded hydrolyzable groups, and/or the partial hydrolysis condensate of this hydrolyzable organosilane compound; and (C) 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of a curing catalyst. This room temperature-vulcanizing silane-containing resin composition is suitable for application as a coating agent composition and in particular as, e.g., a coating agent for electrical and electronic components and substrates therefor, and a sealant for liquid crystal display elements. The room temperature-vulcanizing silane-containing resin composition provides a gas permeation-resistant coating film (cured material) and is useful as a coating agent that exhibits a corrosion-inhibiting capability versus corrosive gases.
