NOVELTY - The transparent conductive article comprises a rigid or flexible transparent coated support, a transparent conductive film comprising a random network of silver nanowires (20-500 mg/m2) dispersed within a water soluble polymer, 0-50 wt.% of additional water soluble polymers, a crosslinking agent, and a transparent polymer layer located between the transparent support and the transparent conductive film. The transparent support is made of a flexible transparent polymer film. The silver nanowires have a surface resistivity of less than 1000 ohm/sq, and an aspect ratio of 20-3300.    USE - The transparent conductive article is useful as touch panel displays, liquid crystal displays, electroluminescent lighting, organic light-emitting diode devices and photovoltaic solar cells.    ADVANTAGE - The transparent conductive article can be economically and easily manufactured with high optical transmittance and conductivity and good stability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The transparent conductive article comprises a rigid or flexible transparent coated support, a transparent conductive film comprising a random network of silver nanowires (20-500 mg/m2) dispersed within a water soluble polymer, 0-50 wt.% of additional water soluble polymers, a crosslinking agent, and a transparent polymer layer located between the transparent support and the transparent conductive film. The transparent support is made of a flexible transparent polymer film. The silver nanowires have a surface resistivity of less than 1000 ohm/sq, and an aspect ratio of 20-3300. The transparent conductive article has a transmittance of 70% across the entire spectrum of 350-1100 nm, and a surface resistivity of less than or equal to 500 ohm/sq. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a transparent conductive film;    (2) a process for the formation of a transparent conductive article; and    (3) a process for the formation of a transparent conductive film.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The diagram shows a photomicrograph of a transparent conductive film coated using a water dispersed polyurethane as binder.
