In electronic materials, transparent electrodes are paid attention for using as a necessary material in various applications. In transparent electrode materials, ITO has excellent conductivity and transparency but is weak in mechanical strength. Recently, metal-nanofiber web-structured films manufactured by electrospinning and deposition process have researched for replacing ITO that metal-nanofiber web-structured films have excellent conductivity, transparency, cost-effectiveness and scalability. But in this process, limitations are existed to be overcome and one of the limitations is the mechanical strength of the nanofiber film. In this study, we have manufactured transparent electrode enhancing mechanical strength of the nanofiber films. It is polymer coating for enhancing mechanical strength and substrate adhesion at polymer films to metal-nanofiber web-structured films. Since these characteristic, transparent electrode manufactured by our process is robust transparent electrode.
