Optically transparent conductive network formation induced by solvent evaporation from tin-oxide-nanoparticle suspensions.

摘要: This investigation describes an optically transparent antistatic film composed of antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix, with remarkably improved electrical and optical properties. The is fabricated on the basis synergistic interaction between self-assembling self-organizing matrix materials. property obtained at ATO concentrations above threshold value. A scaling analysis data yields extremely low critical concentration (0.0020 volume fraction), which considerably lower than value predicted by percolation theory. Microscopic observations have revealed characteristic microstructure: "single-stranded" chainlike (linear form or fibrous) aggregates consisting large ATO-depleted areas. experiment results suggest that high transparency are derived from microstructures film.
