Abstract: Metal nanowires with uniform noble metal coatings are described. Two methods, galvanic exchange and direct deposition, are disclosed for the successful formation of the uniform noble metal coatings. Both the galvanic exchange reaction and the direct deposition method benefit from the inclusion of appropriately strong binding ligands to control or mediate the coating process to provide for the formation of a uniform coating. The noble metal coated nanowires are effective for the production of stable transparent conductive films, which may comprise a fused metal nanostructured network.

Abstract: Desirable methods for larger scale silver nanoplate synthesis are described along with methods for applying a noble metal coating onto the silver nanoplates to form coated silver nanoplates with a desirable absorption spectrum. The silver nanoplates are suitable for use in coatings for altering the hue of a transparent film. The hue adjustment can be particularly desirable for transparent conductive films.

Abstract: Transparent polymeric hardcoats with antimicrobial efficacy are described along with compositions for preparing the hardcoats. The transparent polymeric hardcoats at appropriate thicknesses can provide optical properties of high optical transmission, low haze and high clarity, and are suitable for use in electronic displays designed for commercial applications intended for high consumer use. Touch screens having the transparent polymeric hardcoats are also described.
