Abstract
A composite conductive film is provided that includes a layer of photoresist material and an inorganic mesh comprising a plurality of particles of an inorganic material. The plurality of particles of the inorganic mesh is embedded within the layer of photoresist material and the layer of photoresist material and the inorganic mesh are arranged to form the composite conductive film. Furthermore, a method of making a composite conductive film is provided that includes providing, as a matrix, a layer of photoresist material, introducing a plurality of inorganic particles upon a surface of the layer of photoresist material and embedding at least some of the plurality of inorganic particles into the layer of photoresist material to form an inorganic mesh within the layer of photoresist material, thereby forming the composite conductive film.
