Transparent conducting films (TCF)
are thin layers of transparent electrically conductive material having
touchscreen and photovoltaics modules. TCF are fabricated from organic and
inorganic materials. Inorganic films are made up of thin layers of transparent
conducting oxide which include fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), indium tin oxide
(ITO), and doped zinc oxide. Organic films are developed using networks of
carbon nanotubes and graphene, coupled with poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)
(PEDOT) and its derivatives. High elasticity, good conductivity, and tensile
strength have made carbon nanotubes conducting films more attractive than
others.
Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the widely
used technology for the production of TCF. LCD displays is the largest
application of TCF followed by photovoltaics, touchscreens, and other displays.
The market value of TCF was more than a billion USD in 2011. The material cost
of carbon nanotubes is similar to indium tin oxide but the structure of making
carbon nanotubes TCF is much easier which makes its overall cost lower. Carbon
nanotubes, graphene, and transparent organic material are the most widely used
technologies for TCF production followed by metal nanoparticles, indium tin
oxide, and other metal oxides.

Developments in display, solar, and
touch screen applications will provide various opportunities for the TCF
industry. Increase in the demand for flexible devices such as eReader is
expected to drive the demand for TCF from 2012 to 2018. The ever rising price
of the indium tin oxide technology is limiting the growth of the TCF industry.
Some of the key participants in the
TCF industry are Caledon Controls, Cambrios Technologies Corp., Canatu Ltd.,
Carestream Advanced Materials, Dai Nippon Printing Co Ltd. (DNP), Dontech
Inc., Eastman Kodak, Eikos, Fujifilm
Ltd., Gunze Ltd., Heraeus Clevios, Holst Centre, Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.),
Inc., Mitsui Ltd., Japan, NanoForge, National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science and Technology (AIST), National University of Singapore, Samsung
Electronics, Sang Bo Corporation, and Sigma-Aldrich.

Coated fabrics are those which have
a synthetic coating of high performance materials like polyester, nylon, and
PVC over the fibers to increase their existing quality. These fabrics are of
various varieties depending on their composition and formulation and are easy
and safe to use. They have a wide range of domestic as well as industrial
applications.
