Flexible silver nanowires (AgNWs) transparent conductive films (TCFs) were fabricated on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrate by using spray coating process. Effects of concentration and amount of AgNWs suspension on the performances of optoelectronics and microstructures of AgNWs TCFs were investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that as the increase of both of concentration and amount of AgNWs suspension, the sheet resistance and nonuniformity factor of the sheet resistance (NUF) and transmittance of AgNWs TCFs decrease and the root mean square (RMS) roughness and figure of merit (FoM) and haze of the AgNWs TCFs increase, respectively, due to the increase of the deposition density of AgNWs on the substrate. The flexible AgNWs TCFs with excellent comprehensive performance, which is a NUF of 0.48, haze of 1.94%, FoM of 148.5, transmittance of 84.5%, and sheet resistance of [Formula: see text], can be obtained under the proper experimental conditions. The pressure treatment can improve the electrical conductivity of AgNWs TCFs due to the increase of contact area and the decrease of contact resistance. AgNWs TCF with pressure treatment also exhibits excellent reliability against mechanical bending over 1000 cycles. Our works demonstrate that flexible AgNWs TCFs with high performance can be obtained by using spray coating method, which is one of the common techniques for preparing coatings or films.

In recent years, human-convenient smart wearable devices have attracted considerable attention as emerging applications in smart healthcare systems, soft robotics, and human-machine interfaces. In particular, resistive film heaters with mechanical flexibility and excellent mechanical and electrothermal performance have recently been widely explored for wearable thermotherapy applications. Here, we present a simple and efficient way of fabricating highly flexible and stretchable resistive film heaters based on a patterned silver nanowire (AgNW)/polymer composite structure. The AgNW/polymer composite electrodes were successfully prepared using a photolithographically patterned polymer mold based selective transfer of a AgNW percolation network. The photolithographic mold patterning process allows the heater fabrication to be precise and reproducible. The mesh-patterned AgNW/polymer composite heater exhibited the excellent electrothermal performance of ~46.7 oC at 3 V. This low-voltage operation is highly desirable in practical wearable device applications. Moreover, the AgNW/polymer heater can be stretched up to 20% without significant degradation in electrothermal performance thanks to its open-cell architecture, suggesting that the device can stably transfer heat to the skin after being attached to various body parts with curvilinear surfaces. The experimental results suggest that the mesh-structured AgNW/polymer composite heaters are highly feasible for use as a wearable thermotherapy tool in many emerging applications.
