摘要

Electrically conducting films containing AgNws, hydrophilic and hydrophobic resins were prepared. FT-IR reveals that the interface between the AgNws and epoxy could be successfully modified by APTES. XPS shows that the AgNws were attracted by hydrogen bonds of -NH(2) and -NH- groups after APTES modification. SEM analysis shows that the AgNws were well dispersed in the resin. The AgNws were also blended with hydrophilic and acrylic resins, and the resulting blends were compared with AgNws/epoxy blends. Results show that AgNw/PVA-resin films possess the lowest surface electrical resistance. The AgNw/PVA-resin and silane-modified AgNw/epoxy resin conductive films possess a similar electrical percolation threshold.
