Abstract:
Provided is a transparent conductive ink which contains metal nanowires and/or metal nanotubes as a conductive component and can form a coating film which has good conductivity and a high light transmittance property, and also provided is a transparent conductive pattern forming method wherein this transparent conductive ink is used for forming a transparent conductive pattern by simple production steps, to thereby suppress the production cost and environmental load. At least one of metal nanowires and metal nanotubes are dispersed in a dispersion medium containing a shape-holding material which contains an organic compound having a molecular weight in the range of 150 to 500 and which has a viscosity of 1.0×10 3 to 2.0×10 6 mPa·s at 25°C, to prepare a transparent conductive ink. A transparent conductive pattern is formed by printing a pattern having an arbitrary shape on a substrate using this transparent conductive ink, subjecting the pattern to a heating treatment to dry the pattern, and subjecting the pattern which has been dried to pulsed light irradiation.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a transparent conductive pattern having an improved conductivity by pulse light irradiation. A transparent conductive pattern is produced by coating and drying a dispersion liquid having metal nanowires dispersed therein on a substrate, to deposit the metal nanowires, and irradiating pulsed light having a pulse width of 20 microseconds to 50 milliseconds to the metal nanowires deposited on the substrate, to thereby join intersections of the metal nanowires.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a metal nanobelt and a method of manufacturing the same, and a conductive ink composition and a conductive film including the same. The metal nanobelt can be easily manufactured at a normal temperature and pressure without requiring the application of high temperature and pressure, and also can be used to form a conductive film or conductive pattern that exhibits excellent conductivity if the conductive ink composition including the same is printed onto a substrate before a heat treatment or a drying process is carried out at low temperature. Therefore, the metal nanobelt and the conductive ink composition may be applied very appropriately for the formation of conductive patterns or conductive films for semiconductor devices, displays, solar cells in environments requiring low temperature heating. The metal nanobelt has a length of 500 nm or more, a length/width ratio of 10 or more, and a width/thickness ratio of 3 or more.
