Ag mesh network framework based nano composite for transparent conductive functional electrodes for capacitive touch sensor and thin film heater

Conductive Nanofiber Web Film with Polydimethylsiloxane Sidewalls Selectively Coated through a Plasma Process for High Performance Flexible Transparent Electrodes

“…In the SPSE-CNWF, the transparency was not significantly affected because it selectively coated PDMS, which had transparent properties only on the periphery of the copper nanofibers rather than the entire film. Based on the Haacke equation (eq ) and our data, we measured the figure of merit (FoM). − normalΦ italicTc = italicT 10 / italicR sh where Φ denotes the figure of merit, R sh denotes the sheet resistance, and T is the light transmittance. A high figure of merit indicates satisfactory optical and electrical performance of the transparent electrode.…”

Thermo-electro-optical properties of seamless metallic nanowire networks for transparent conductor applications

“…50,90 and many other experimental developments targeting seamless or patterned network materials. 70,76,91–93 As seen in previous works, 84 to generate a virtual version of a NWN in which we can perform computations, image processing methods can be applied to micrograph images of these systems from which a mapping of all their nodal, connectivity, and segment information are cast into a mathematical graph. In examining certain experimental images of seamless NWNs as studied by Sheerin et al .…”

Preparation of large-area, high-performance single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)-based heater films by roll-to-roll gravure printing

“…In recent years, transparent thin film heaters have attracted increased attention because they can be used in wearable electronic devices [1], organic solar cells [2], defoggers and deicers [3], displays [4], thermotherapy pads [5][6][7][8][9][10], sensors [11,12] and so on. These thin film heaters are often fabricated on flexible and transparent polymer substrates [13] or stretchable elastomeric substrates [14] rather than rigid substrates such as glass, so that they can better conform to the customization requirements of wearable electronics.…”
