  • Publication number: 20200245457
    Abstract: Structures are described having thin flexible polymer substrates with electrically conductive films on each opposing surface while having high optical transmittance and good optical properties. The structures can have total thicknesses of no more than about 30 microns and good flexibility. Processing approaches are described that allow for the coating of the very thin structures by providing support through the coating process. The structures are demonstrated to have good durability under conditions designed to test accelerated wear for touch sensor use.

  • Publication number: 20180105704
    Abstract: Metal salt based stabilizers are described that are effective to improve stability of sparse metal conductive films formed with metal nanowires, especially silver nanowires. Specifically, vanadium (+5) compositions can be effectively placed in coatings to provide desirable stabilization under accelerated wear testing conditions. Sparse metal conductive films can comprise fused metal nanostructured networks. Cobalt (+2) compounds can be incorporated as stabilization agents within nanowire inks to provide a high degree of stabilization without significantly interfering with the fusing process.

  • Publication number: 20160122562
    Abstract: Transparent conductive films are described based on sparse metal conductive layers. Stabilization with respect to degradation of electrical conductivity over time is provided for the sparse metal conductive layers through the design of additional layers in the film. Specifically, the sparse metal conductive layer can be placed adjacent coatings with appropriate stabilization compositions as well as through the incorporation into the film of various additional protective layers.
