Flexible and optically transparent silver nano-islands film

We report a cost effective and facile way to synthesize flexible, transparent conductor using oblique angle deposition (OAD). A flexible Ag islands film with transmittance of 28.02 % at 550 nm is obtained with only one step on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate before stretching. The transperacy...

Description
Summary:We report a cost effective and facile way to synthesize flexible, transparent conductor using oblique angle deposition (OAD). A flexible Ag islands film with transmittance of 28.02 % at 550 nm is obtained with only one step on Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate before stretching. The transperacy of the film increased upto 35.29 % at 550 nm under tensile strain of 40 %. As an application, these stretchable, transparent conductive films can be used as electrodes, capacitive pressure sensors for mechanically compliant optoelectronic devices.
