The Effects of Corrosion, Fatigue, and Corrosion-fatigue of Multilayer Coated Polyesters for Flexible Electronics Applications

We investigated the electrical and optical properties of ITO/Ag-alloy/ITO films in a corrosive NaCl solution. The effects bending fatigue combined with aggressive environments provided by salt solution were also studied. It is shown that exposure to can cause performance degrade over time. In addition, greater changes resistance lower values transmittance observed at higher concentrations combination stress corrosion aqueous was found significantly reduce conductivity film. Furthermore, it presence structural defects deposited provide driving force form Ag agglomerations that, turn, This suggests film should be minimized avoid excessive corrosion.
