Formulation of Silver Nanowire-Polyaniline Hybrid Transparent Electrodes by Using Catechol-enriched Polyaniline
A highly conducting and optically transparent silver nanowire-polyaniline (AgNW-PANI) hybrid network was formulated by mussel-inspired conjugation of catechol-enriched PANT with AgNW. Chemical bridging rather than physical mixing of electrically conducting PANT with AgNW successfully produced transparent conducting film on plastic substrates with enhanced adhesion.
