Abstract
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.
Claims10
A transparent conductive film comprising a substrate and a transparent conductive layer comprising a fused metal nanostructured network and a polymeric polyol wherein the film comprises from about 40 wt % to about 600 wt % polymeric polyol relative to the metal weight, a sheet resistance of no more than about 140 ohms/sq and a haze of no more than about 1.2%.
