Fabrication of High-Haze Flexible Transparent Conductive PMMA Films Embedded with Silver Nanowires
High-haze flexible transparent conductive polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films embedded with silver nanowires (AgNWs) are fabricated by a low-cost and simple process. The volatilization rate of the solvent in PMMA solution affects the surface microstructures and morphologies, which results in differ...

Summary: | High-haze flexible transparent conductive polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films embedded with silver nanowires (AgNWs) are fabricated by a low-cost and simple process. The volatilization rate of the solvent in PMMA solution affects the surface microstructures and morphologies, which results in different haze factors of the composite films. The areal mass density of AgNW shows a significant influence on the optical and electrical properties of composite films. The AgNW/PMMA transparent conductive films with the sheet resistance of 5.5Ω sq ^-1 exhibit an excellent performance with a high haze factor of 81.0% at 550?nm. |
