This study demonstrates large-scale dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs) and preparation of transparent and conductive thin films of carbon nanotubes as touch panel matrix based on flexible sheet materials such as PET substrate.A sheet resistance of 500 Omega/square at a transmittance of 85% was achieved.The low sheet resistance of the resulting thin conductive film on the PET substrate was due to the interconnecting networks of highly dispersed SWCNTs. They formed strong crisscross networks of nanotubes clustered together, thus improving the electrical and optical properties of the film.Transparent conductive films play critical roles as electrodes in modern electronic devices.The films prepared are suitable for applications in touch panels to substitute tin oxide(ITO) due to its inflexibility and insufficiency of rare metals.
