Preparation of inverse nanoparticle-polymer composites by infiltrating monomers in indium tin oxide layers: Paper presented at XVII Brazil MRS Meeting 2018, September 16th to 20th, 2018, Natal

The limitations of low-fill nanoparticle-polymer composites are overcome through the initial creation of a stable, percolating inorganic nanoparticle scaffold with a very high porosity via flame-spray pyrolysis. Subsequently, the porous structures are filled with a monomer and are photochemically polymerized. It is shown that for indium tin oxide nanoparticles filled with a bifunctional acrylate, the electrical conductivity can be increased by one order of magnitude due to a structural changing of the layers
