Researchers used nanowire particles spraying technique to create new ultrathin and highly conductive material

Briefing

February 21, 2017

Briefing	New Material – Researchers from University of Illinois at Chicago and Korea University made new ultrathin film that is transparent, highly conductive, bendable and stretchable Cheap and Simple Process – Involves spraying nanowire particles through tiny jet nozzles at supersonic speed, creating films with nearly same electrical conductivity as silver-coated metal and transparency of glass Potential Applications – Include roll-up touchscreen displays, wearable electronics, flexible solar cells, and electronic skin
Accelerator	Advanced Materials
Sector	Cross-sector
Organization	Korea University, The University of Illinois at Chicago
