Abstract
A composite conductive film is provided that includes a layer of cross-linked polymer having a surface and an inorganic mesh comprising a plurality of inorganic nanowires. The plurality of inorganic nanowires is embedded throughout at least a region of the layer of cross-linked polymer. The region is continuous from the surface of the layer of cross-linked polymer. The layer of cross-linked polymer and the inorganic mesh are arranged to form the composite conductive film. The composite conductive film has a pencil test hardness in a range of 2H to 9H.

A composite conductive film, comprising:
- a layer of insulating cross-linked polymer having a surface;
- and
- an inorganic mesh comprising a plurality of inorganic nanowires;
- wherein:
- the plurality of inorganic nanowires is embedded throughout at least a region of the layer of insulating cross-linked polymer, wherein the region is continuous from the surface of the layer of insulating cross-linked polymer;
- and
- the layer of insulating cross-linked polymer and the inorganic mesh are arranged to form the composite conductive film, wherein the cross-linking of the insulating cross-linked polymer results in a pencil test hardness for the composite conductive film in a range of 2H to 9H.
