Silver nanowires >60 μm have been synthesized using a polyol process without stirring at 130 °C.

Large-scale silver nanowire (AgNW) mesh films have received increasing attention as new transparent conductive films used in various printed devices. However, there are two crucial issues in implementing AgNWs that need to be addressed: (1) strong adhesion between AgNW film and substrate and (2) high conductivity with short treatment time for low-cost printed technology. Here, a high-intensity pulsed light (HIPL) sintering technique, which provides extreme heating locally in the AgNW film and at the interface between the film and polymer substrate, sinters the AgNW film to produce high conductivity with strong adhesion on the substrate. Importantly, light intensity, exposure time, and AgNW amount can be adjusted simply to form films that meet specific device needs. A flexible AgNW film with sheet resistance of 19 U sq À1 and transmittance of 83% at 550 nm is obtained with only one-step on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate with a light intensity of 1.14 J cm À2 under an exposure time of only 50 ms. The film can endure multiple peeling tests, which will play an important role in printed electronics.

We study four dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory on the noncommutative superspace, recently proposed by Seiberg. We construct the gauge-invariant action of N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory with chiral and antichiral superfields, which has N = 1 2 supersymmetry on the noncommutative superspace. We also construct the action of N = 2 super Yang-Mills theory. It is shown that this theory has only N = 1 2 supersymmetry.
