Cambrios Technologies Corporationand Heraeus Group announced a new class of hybrid, transparent, conductive materials made of silver nanowires and conductive polymers. Combining ClearOhm® silver nanowires with Clevios™ PEDOT:PSS conductive polymer creates a new hybrid “one layer solution” resulting in the highest conductivity coupled with an ultra-smooth surface. The new Clevios™ HY family of products will have superior conductivity on flexible substrates, faster transmission and greater flexibility.

They will be used in touch screens, OLED lighting, photovoltaics, smart windows and flexible displays. This new technology supersedes the expensive ITO vacuum sputtering process. Clevios™ HY ink formulations use cost-effective coating and printing processes that are best suited for high-volume manufacturing.
