Abstract

A method for forming a metal oxide film on a substrate is provided comprising the steps of depositing a continuous metal layer having an exposed surface onto a substrate, forming a metal oxide layer on the exposed surface, contacting the oxide layer with an effective amount of a fluxing agent, providing a protective polymeric layer on the oxide layer and forming discrete metal microspheres by melting the metal layer. A metal polymer composite comprising a continuous metal oxide layer which may be transparent is thus provided.
