An overcoating layer that can be applied on a flexible transparent PEDOT:PSS film was prepared by combining silica sol and organic polymer. (3-Glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was used as a precursor for the silica sol, which hydrolyzed under moisture to form silanol groups and self-condensed to form a sol under acidic conditions. Therefore, the organic polymer used was poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA), which is acidic and water-soluble; thus, the silica precursor can form a sol and can cause chemical condensation with the silica sol under thermal conditions. However, as this protective layer was insulating, there was difficulty in conducting electricity to the lower portion through the upper contact. Therefore, a small amount of conductive polymer, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), was added to the protective layer to make the overcoating layer itself conductive, thereby enabling electrical conduction to the underlying conductive film. |
