Professor Dahl-young Khang from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering have developed a new method for room-temperature welding and sintering of metal nanostructures using capillary condensation. Their research results were published May 15 in Nano Letters under the title “Room-Temperature Chemical Welding and Sintering of Metallic Nanostructures by Capillary Condensation.”

 

 

 

According to Professor Khang, this new method is particularly noteworthy in that the “welded networks of silver nanowires show much improved performance, in terms of high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, optical transparency, and chemical stability.” The method may find widespread application in diverse fields, such as displays, deformable electronics, wearable heaters, and other products.
