According to foreign media reports, due to the very poor conductivity of traditional plastics, they are often used for insulation, which makes it a shielding material for materials such as wires and circuit boards. But scientists have always hoped to change this situation by adding other materials, that is, to impart electrical conductivity to plastics. Now, a research team has proposed a promising possibility, hoping that it can be used for large touch screens or solar cells that can be installed on windows.
It is reported that this new material was developed by electrical and computer engineers at the University of Michigan based on early work in the field. The team has previously demonstrated how to add a very thin layer of silver to the plastic plate to make it conductive, but doing so requires some cost, which reduces the light transmittance by about 10%.
One way to improve the transparency of plastics is to apply anti-reflective coatings, but these coatings usually do not have conductive properties. In this regard, the researchers believe that by carefully mixing metals and multilayer materials, they may have solved this problem.
It is understood that the transparent conductive plastic they created is composed of very fine silver and plastic layers. In addition, the plastic layer also contains a small amount of copper and is only 6.5 nanometers thick. The conductive layer is sandwiched between two "dielectric" materials, one is alumina and the other is zinc oxide.
Because these materials can effectively pass light through the material, their light transmittance is higher than that of plastic alone, the former reaches 88.4%, and the latter 88.1%.
"We have developed a method to make coatings with high transparency, high conductivity, low haze, excellent flexibility, easy to make, and have good compatibility with different surfaces," the research leader, Electronic Engineering And Jay Guo, a professor of computer science, said.
Next, the team will explore how to use this material as a transparent conductor for solar cells.
Sodium Lignosulfonate water-reducing agent is modified sodium Lignosulfonate, a powdery low-air-entraining retarding water-reducing agent, which is an anionic surface active substance, has adsorption and dispersion effect on cement, and can improve various physical properties of concrete performance. It can be compounded into early strength agent, retarder, antifreeze, pumping agent, etc., and the liquid admixture made by compounding with naphthalene-based superplasticizer has basically no precipitation.
