Abstract: A method of forming a transparent, electrically-conductive film and an associated film. The method can be a transfer method. A region of a substrate is provided with a binder that includes metal nanostructures suspended in a photosensitive polymeric material. A donor substrate can be used. Photolithography is used to pattern the binder. The patterned binder is developed using a developing fluid that: (i) removes a portion of the photosensitive polymeric material according to a pattern of the binder, and (ii) includes a nanostructure etchant that etches the metal nanostructures.

Abstract: A method of forming a conductive film. The method includes applying an ink onto a substrate. The ink includes a plurality of nanostructures formed from an electrically-conductive material and a polymer binder. The method includes drying the ink on the substrate. The method includes applying an overcoat material solution onto the dried ink. The overcoat solution includes at least some solvent suitable to provide at least some solubility of the binder. Also, a conductive film that includes a substrate, a matrix on the substrate, and a plurality of nanostructures within the matrix. The matrix is provided as a resultant of a polymer binder present within an ink that carried the nanostructures that was applied and dried upon the substrate, a dried/cured overcoat material that that was applied on the dried ink layer in the form of a coating solution that included a polymer and at least some solvent to provide at least some solubility of the binder, with the binder being at least partially dissolved.
