In this study, a solution-phase method was demonstrated to generate silver (Ag) nanowires with diameters in the range of
30~50nm and lengths of up to ~50μm, which was proceed by reducing silver nitrate with ethylene glycol in the presence
of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). Fundamental material characterizations including X-ray diffraction transmission
electro microscopy (TEM) and scanning electro microscopy (SEM) were conducted on these Ag nanowires. A novel
kind of isotropical conductive adhesives (ICA) was prepared by using these Ag nanowires as conductive filler. Electrical
property including bulk resistivity and mechanical property including shear strength were investigated and compared
with that of conventional ICA filled with micrometer-sized Ag particles or nanometer-sized Ag particles. The average
diameter of these Ag particles is about 1μm and 100 nm respectively. The results shown that ICA filled Ag nanowires
exhibited higher conductivity, higher shear strength and low percolation threshold value than traditional ICA. Possible
conductive mechanism was discussed based on theory calculation.
