SILVER NANOWIRES

Silver Nanowires (SNW) also known as Silver Nanoparticles are currently the most preferred material for the preparation of flexible transparent conductive films. These films are the best alternative to traditional materials like indium tin oxide films (ITO films) due to their superior properties over metal oxide films.
When Silver Nanowires are coated over a transparent base material such as polyethylene teraphtalate (PET), glass etc. the silver nanowires form a conductive network which is flexible and has high bending resistance at the same time providing a high level of transparency. They can improve light transmittance, give good conductivity and low haze after precision coating on a substrate. The conductivity of a silver nanowire coating is far higher than a metal oxide film of similar thickness.
