  • FABRICATION OF METAL NANOWIRE MESHES OVER LARGE AREAS BY SHEAR-ALIGNMENT OF BLOCK COPOLYMERS
    Publication number: 20180242465
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for creating a metal nanowire mesh the method includes forming a first layer of block copolymer, causing the block copolymer to become aligned in approximately straight lines, infiltrating one phase of the block copolymer with a metal, and removing the block copolymer where the metal remains after the block copolymer is removed. Furthermore, the method includes forming a second layer of block copolymer, causing the block copolymer in the second layer to become ordered in approximately straight lines oriented at an angle from greater than 0 degrees to 90 degrees from a mean direction of longitudinal axes of the remaining metal, infiltrating one phase of the block copolymer in the second layer with a second metal, and removing the block copolymer in the second layer where the second metal remains above the metal after the block copolymer in the second layer is removed.
