STRUCTURES WITH SURFACE-EMBEDDED ADDITIVES AND RELATED MANUFACTURING METHODS

摘要

Electrically conductive or semiconducting additives are embedded into surfaces of host materials for use in a variety of applications and devices. Resulting surface-embedded structures exhibit improved performance, as well as cost benefits arising from their compositions and manufacturing processes.

主权项

1. A manufacturing method to form a transparent conductive electrode, comprising:
providing a wet composition on a substrate; applying metallic nanowires to the wet composition to at least partially embed the metallic nanowires into the wet composition; and converting the wet composition into a coating with the metallic nanowires at least partially embedded into the coating, wherein converting the wet composition includes at least one of curing, cross-linking, and polymerizing the wet composition.
