Abstract

Transparent conductive films are disclosed and claimed that exhibit high light transmittance, low surface resistance, and superior peel-off adhesion. Such films are useful in electronics applications.

Claims (13)

1 . A transparent conductive film comprising:

at least one transparent substrate;

at least one transparent primer layer disposed on the at least one transparent substrate, the at least one transparent primer layer formed from at least one transparent primer layer coating mix comprising at least one hydroxy-functional polymer and at least one heat curable monomer; and

at least one transparent conductive layer disposed on the at least one transparent primer layer, the at least one transparent conductive layer formed from at least one transparent conductive layer coating mix comprising at least one first cellulose ester polymer and at least one metal nanowire.

2 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one transparent substrate comprises at least one polyester comprising at least about 70 wt % ethylene terephthalate repeat units.

3 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first hydroxy-functional polymer comprises a cellulose acetate polymer, a cellulose acetate butyrate polymer, or a cellulose acetate propionate polymer.

4 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein that at least one first hydroxy-functional polymer comprises a hydroxyl content of at least about 3 wt %, according to ASTM D817-96.

5 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first hydroxy-functional polymer comprises a hydroxyl content of about 4.8 wt %, according to ASTM D817-96.

6 . The transparent conductive film according to a claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat curable monomer comprises at least about three ether groups.

7 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat curable monomer comprises at least one melamine monomer.

8 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heat curable monomer comprises hexamethyoxymethylmelamine.

9 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one first cellulose ester polymer comprises a cellulose acetate polymer, a cellulose acetate butyrate polymer, or a cellulose acetate propionate polymer.

10 . The transparent conductive film according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one metal nanowire comprises at least one silver nanowire.
