Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Conductive films with transparency characteristics are provided. In accordance with various example embodiments, a transparent conductive film includes an inorganic nanowire mesh embedded in an organic substrate layer. The embedding may involve, for example, embedding a majority of, or substantially all of the nanowire mesh in the organic substrate layer to facilitate a resulting surface roughness of the combined nanowire mesh-polymer that is less than a surface roughness of the mesh alone (e.g., or otherwise embedded), and in turn facilitates desirable conductivity characteristics.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: an organic substrate layer; and an inorganic nanowire mesh embedded in the organic substrate layer, the organic substrate layer being configured with the embedded nanowire mesh to provide a composite morphology for nanowires therein being sufficiently flattened to form a conductive film in which some of the nanowires are exposed and at which RMS surface roughness is between 5 nm and 30nm, wherein the organic substrate layer and the…
