Transparent Conductive Film Characteristics

In Unidym’s transparent conductive film applications and transparent conductor applications the carbon nanotubes are densely-tangled mats of nanotubes, physically bound to the film they are coated onto. The natural stickiness of nanotubes to each other, and to the other materials in the film coating, strongly inhibit the ability of the nanotubes to migrate out of the film. In addition, in nearly all applications of Unidym nanotube films, the coated surfaces are inside the final device, protected from direct contact with people or the environment.
