COMPOSITIONS FOR FORMING TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE NANOPARTICLE COATINGS AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION THEREFOR

摘要

A process produces a substantially stable aqueous dispersion of metal or met al oxide particles suitable for use in forming a transparent conductive coating . The process comprises the steps of (a) adding a nanocrystalline material to water, the nanocrystalline material comprising primary particles of metal or metal oxide having a substantially spherical shape and (b) mixing the nanocrystalline material and water to form an aqueous dispersion. The proces s identified above prepares a substantially stable aqueous dispersion of nanocrystalline particles, which may be used in forming a transparent conductive coating.
