Abstract

See-through layers of conductive material are used in many fields of science and technology for example on screens of electronic devices or heated car windows. An elaboration of a high-performance and economical method of producing transparent electrodes is one of the challenges of today's science. This paper presents the results of spraying test of various conductive inks, performed on an ultrasonic spray coating station, leading to a development the optimal parameters of manufacturing the transparent conductive electrode. Spray coating is one of the most common techniques of coating objects with thin films. The ultrasonic atomization used in this process allows the increase of the precision and thus decrease of thickness and higher homogeneity of applied layers. In this study, after the selection of the best carrier and coating parameters, a suspension of carbon nanotubes was created and used for coating. The prepared sample was subjected to electrical tests and the results of these studies have been described.
