COMPOSITION FOR FORMING CONDUCTIVE FILMS

摘要

A composition for forming transparent conductive films comprises a tin-containing indium oxide (ITO) powder dispersed in a binder solution. The binder solution comprises a mixed organic solvent consisting of at least one polar solvent and at least one non-polar solvent, in which a polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of from 8,000 to 150,000 is dissolved. The polymer contains (a) an acidic functional group in such a proportion that the polymer has an acid number of from 0.5 to 15 mg-KOH/g, or (b) a polyalkylene glycol chain in a proportion of from 0.5% to 40% by weight, or both of (a) and (b) in the molecule. Alternatively, the binder solution comprises an actinic radiation-curable binder, which comprises an acrylate or methacrylate compound containing an acid phosphate group in the molecule. The composition can form, by coating, a transparent conductive film having improved electrical and optical properties.
