Abstract

In a method for producing a high-molecular-weight polymer sheet, when a monomer composition including silver nanowires is polymerized, the monomer composition is allowed to stand in a state in which a thickness direction of the obtained high-molecular-weight polymer sheet before the polymerization is a vertical direction, and the silver nanowires in the monomer composition are oriented in the vertical direction and polymerized.

Claims (65)

1 . A high-molecular-weight polymer sheet, comprising:

silver nanowires,

wherein the silver nanowires are oriented in a thickness direction.

2 . The high-molecular-weight polymer sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein an S value determined from a scattering vector of small-angle X-ray scattering and indicating a degree of orientation in the thickness direction of the silver nanowires is 0.1 to 1.0, and

the S value is determined by the following Equation (1):

where C in Equation (1) satisfies Equation (2), and I(θ) in Equation (2) is a scattering intensity at an azimuth θ on a circle whose radius is a scattering vector at which scattering of the silver nanowires determined by a scattering pattern of the small-angle X-ray scattering becomes a maximum value.

3 . The high-molecular-weight polymer sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness direction is a direction perpendicular to a surface having a largest area among surfaces of the high-molecular-weight polymer sheet.

4 . A method for producing a high-molecular-weight polymer sheet, comprising:

a preparation step of preparing a monomer composition including silver nanowires;

a standing step of allowing the monomer composition to stand horizontally and orienting the silver nanowires in a vertical direction; and

a polymerization step of polymerizing the monomer composition in a state in which the silver nanowires in the monomer composition are oriented in the vertical direction.
