Fusing nanowire inks are described that can also comprise a hydrophilic polymer binder, such as a cellulose based binder. The fusing nanowire inks can be deposited onto a substrate surface and dried to drive the fusing process. Transparent conductive films can be formed with desirable properties.

Electrically conductive ink compositions are provided that comprise at carbon nanomaterials of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and quasi-three-dimensional nanostructures and/or their combinations, and/or doping with elements such as nitrogen, boron, sulfur, in certain ratios. The carbon nanomaterials are selected from the group consisting of graphene and graphene oxide particles, carbon nanotubes, and graphene aerosol gels.

Paste compositions for additive manufacturing and methods for the same are provided. The paste composition may include an organic vehicle, and one or more powders dispersed in the organic vehicle. The organic vehicle may include a solvent, a polymeric binder, a thixotropic additive, and a dispersant. The organic vehicle may be configured to provide the paste composition with a suitable viscosity. The organic vehicle may also be configured to provide a stable paste composition for a predetermined period of time.

Optically active formulations useful as inks in extrusion-based deposition techniques and solids formed of the formulations are described. Formulations include a cellulose derivative in a chiral nematic phase and a polyethylene glycol interspersed with the cellulose derivative as stabilization to the cholesteric pitch of the chiral nematic phase. The inks can be utilized in direct ink writing processes to produce printed films or three-dimensional structures with long-lasting colors that stem from the nanostructure of the chiral nematic phase. The ink can include reactive monomers which can be polymerized to create optically active solid elastomers.

Disclosed herein are solution-based additive manufacturing inks comprising a polymer, a volatile solvent compound, and a nonsolvent compound. With current additive manufacturing techniques, a wide range of functionally innovative polymers are left without the ability to be used in additive manufacturing. Improved additive manufacturing techniques to process advanced functional polymers are desirable. The disclosed ink is operable to render any chosen polymer useable in additive manufacturing methods. The composition of the disclosed ink allows for a phase inversion to occur to transition the ink from a liquid ink to a solid manufactured structure. Also disclosed herein are devices for additive manufacturing of the ink and methods for making the same.

A package of one or more absorbent articles is disclosed. The package includes a packaging material. The packaging material including a polymeric film and an ink. The package also includes an absorbent article with a perfume composition, wherein the perfume composition has a perfume component and a carrier component. The carrier component is from about 15 wt. % to about 85 wt. % of the perfume composition. The carrier component is substantially insoluble in water.
