Silver nanowires (AgNWs) embedded electrodes for gel actuator
2014
In the field of electronic devices, the demand of polymer electrodes, which have high conductivity, high flexibility and transparence, is increasing. The polyelectrolyte of high-strength gels was made to improve the mechanical properties in our previous study [1]. In this study, we attempt to make a transparent polymer electrode by laminating polymer thin film and silver nanowires (AgNWs). High transparence poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film, which is produced by using solvent cast method. AgNWs are prepared by reacting Silver chloride (AgCl) with Silver nitrate (AgNO3) based on previous study[2]. The AgNWs taking on different shapes are obtained. Particle and fibrous AgNWs are formed by using low and high molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), respectively (Figure 1). The possibility of developing the polymer electrode with high conductivity, high flexibility and transparence is shown from these results.
