APPLICATIONS
Silver nanowires are one-dimensional conductive nanomaterials with diameters typically ranging from 10–200 nm and lengths of 5–200 µm. They combine high electrical and thermal conductivity, low visible-light extinction, and mechanical flexibility, making them well suited for a wide range of electronic and functional materials.
