EXAMPLE 1
36.5 parts by weight of a silver nanowire-containing solution (ClearOhm ink, Cambrios Technologies Corp., total amount of silver nanowires and a binder: 2.45 wt %, average diameter of silver nanowires: about 25 nm) was mixed with 63.4969 parts by weight of ultra-pure water. To the mixture, 0.003 parts by weight of acetic acid (100% pure solution, Samchun Pure Chemical Co., Ltd.) and 0.0001 parts by weight of a thiol group-compound, cysteamine (TCI), were added, followed by stirring, thereby preparing 100 parts by weight of a silver nanowire dispersion.
10 parts by weight of 100 parts by weight of the prepared silver nanowire dispersion was deposited on a base layer (polycarbonate film, WRS-148, thickness: 50 μm) by spin coating, thereby forming a layer of the silver nanowire dispersion. The layer of the silver nanowire dispersion was dried in an oven at 80° C. for 120 seconds, thereafter by spin coating 10 parts by weight of the matrix composition of Preparative Example 1 thereon and drying at an oven at 80° C. for 120 seconds and at 140° C. for 120 seconds, followed by curing through UV irradiation at a fluence of 500 mJ/cm2, thereby manufacturing a transparent conductor. Here, a capping layer having a thickness shown in Table 1 and including polyvinylpyrrolidone and cysteamine was formed on surfaces of the silver nanowires.
