Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention provides a low b-value high-transmittance conductive film which comprises a substrate layer and a conductive layer positioned on the substrate layer, wherein the conductive layer is formed by coating and curing silver nanowire conductive ink, and blue hollow SiO (silicon dioxide) with the mass fraction of 0.2-1 wt% is added into the silver nanowire conductive ink2Microspheres; preferably, blue hollow SiO2The mass fraction of the microspheres is 0.3-0.65 wt%. More specifically, blue hollow SiO2The content of the blue dye in the microspheres is 0.05-5 wt%; preferably, blue hollow SiO2In the microsphereThe content of the blue dye is 0.5-2 wt%.
According to the invention, the dyed hollow silica microspheres are added into the silver nanowire conductive ink, and the colored chelate formed by the dyed compound and the hollow silica microspheres is adsorbed to the metal nanowires, so that the reduction of transparency caused by independently adding the colored compound (dye) can be inhibited.
The invention effectively utilizes the colored polymer microspheres formed by the dyeing compound and the hollow silica microspheres, and combines the advantages of the polymer microspheres and the dyeing agent: the polymer microsphere has the advantages of large specific surface area, uniform particle size, various microsphere surface structures and forms, excellent color saturation of the dye and super-strong durability of the organic pigment. Specifically, the hollow silica microspheres of the invention have the functions of adsorbing pigment particles and reducing pigment attenuation; has optical properties against ultraviolet rays; the ageing resistance and the chemical resistance of the material can be improved by doping the material; dispersed in the material, the strength of the material can be improved. When the dye is added alone, transmittance is reduced, and due to the particle characteristics of the dye, diffuse reflection is likely to occur, thereby causing a serious haze problem of the conductive film.
According to the invention, the hollow silica microspheres are added, so that the synergistic effect with the silver nanowires is realized, the reflection is reduced, and the transmittance is improved. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the transmittance of AgNW/hollow silica microsphere coated PET (transmittance: 96.5%) and AgNW/silica nanoparticle coated PET (transmittance: 91.0%) was increased by 6.22% and 1.0%, respectively, compared to AgNW coated PET (transmittance: 90.5%), indicating that the anti-reflective effect is mainly due to the synergy of the silica microspheres and AgNW, while the hollow silica microspheres have better anti-reflective properties. According to the invention, the blue dye and the hollow silica microspheres are combined, and the dyed hollow silica microspheres are added into the silver nanowire conductive ink, so that the problem that the transmittance of the conductive film is reduced due to the independent addition of the dye is solved.
Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the substrate layer is a PET substrate. In general, PET has a refractive index of 1.55-1.65, while hollow SiO is added2MicrospheresThe refractive index of the conductive layer is 1.25-1.32, which is beneficial to matching the refractive index between air and the base material, thereby improving the light transmittance.
Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the silver nanowire conductive ink comprises 0.1-0.5 wt% of silver nanowires, the diameter of the silver nanowires is 10-100nm, and the length-diameter ratio is greater than or equal to 1000. As too much silver nanowires resulted in yellowing of the conductive film, the sample was more yellow (or less blue) than the standard according to CIE Lab color model, i.e. Δ b is positive. Therefore, in order to compensate and neutralize the color of the conductive film, by adding blue hollow SiO2The microspheres are used for realizing the effect of reducing or eliminating yellowing, reducing the b value and enabling the Delta b to tend to be zero, so that the visual effect of the conductive film is improved.
More specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the blue dye is any one or more of alizarin blue, basic blue 6B, alcohol blue, water soluble aniline blue, azo blue, brilliant cresol blue, bromophenol blue, kalazole blue, quinoline blue, indigo, resin phenol blue, methyl blue, methine blue, patent blue a, patent blue No. five, phthalocyanine, resazurin, azurin, prussian blue, methylene benzene blue, thymol blue, and tricresyl blue.
