Abstract
Method of manufacturing patterned transparent conductor is provided, comprising: providing a silver ink core component containing silver nanoparticles dispersed in a silver carrier; providing a shell component containing a film forming polymer dispersed in a shell carrier; providing a substrate; coelectrospinning the silver ink core component and the shell component to form a core shell fiber, wherein the silver nanoparticles are in the core; depositing the core shell fiber on the substrate; selectively treating a portion of the deposited core shell fiber to provide a patterned transparent conductor, wherein the patterned transparent conductor has a treated region and a non-treated region; wherein the treated region comprises a plurality of electrically interconnected silver miniwires and wherein the treated region is an electrically conductive region; and, wherein the non-treated region is an electrically insulative region.
