Abstract

Abstract : A thermally and mechanically robust, smooth, and transparent conductor composed of silver nanowires embedded in a colorless polyimide substrate is introduced by C. B. Arnold and co‐workers on page 7428. This material is a new substrate‐cum‐electrode for optoelectronics devices and exhibits excellent thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability. As a substrate for a flexible organic light‐emitting diode, improved device performance is achieved compared to a control device made on ITO coated glass.
