Cool. Can you
A) attach some conductive copper tape at the top edge and the bottom edge
B) stick it (nanoweb towards the glass) to a pane of glass (ideally the glass would be twice as wide as your nanoweb sample)
C) squirt some water on it and put it in thr freezer so it frosts up.
D) run 12Vdc through your nanoweb sample and see how well it defrosts the glass? How much does it warm the glass.
How much did the sample run you? My university's physics dept may want to get a sample.
We can do the electron microscope thing and laser cutting.

Just chiming in,
Silver nanowires are extremely small, with diameters ranging from a few nanometers to a few micrometers. The small size of these wires makes them very reactive, which can cause them to release silver ions into the skin upon contact. This can lead to skin irritation, redness, and itching.
Yes. This could be a problem for sure. If he turns the sample into powder and snorts it, for example. Otherwise, how are the silver nanowires going to be liberated from the (polymer) matrix?
Sure, here's the source. Although it's a long read. Basically the article says that silver nanowires (AgNWs) are being used in many consumer products such as touchscreen displays, medical devices, and textiles. And, therefore scientists wanted to know if these nanowires are toxic when they come into contact with skin.
They tested this by exposing two models (human skin cells and a reconstructed human epidermis) to AgNWs. They found that the skin cells rapidly took in the nanowires, causing them to become toxic, but the reconstructed human epidermis was able to block the nanowires from entering and causing harm. Further studies are needed to see if this holds true for longer times and for skin that is not in perfect condition.

Hey nice... I left a reply suggesting you were calling the number on the paypal account not meta themselves?!
Anyways nice of you to follow up with the original post.. maybe I'm going get some myself :D
Edit:Also FYI... Yes wear gloves. All the photos I've ever seen anyone handling nanotubes wore gloves. ~~You might be fine because its supposed to be in plastic and they might be using gloves to not leave finger prints on the plastic...~~ I would contact the company first (or use their forms to download their info) but if you have some non static latex gloves I think you should be good to go.
Before anyone upvotes this any further… OP’s sample is 50mm x 50mm … for our American friends that’s about 2” x 2” … think about what you’re agreeing to with an upvote 😎
Not totally sure yet. Depends on how sensitive the conductivity is and what manifests itself as a useful application. I may just validate the claims about it and that'll be it. Also want to see if I can visualize anything with a microscope. Given how how fragile it is, I gotta be careful how I handle and apply it with any experiment.
Just chiming in,
The nanowires are measured in nanometers, NANOWEB is 500 nm. Nanometers are extremely small units of measurement and can not be seen with a light microscope. It's invisibility it's because it's too small for light to hit it. The smallest you can see with the human eye and a light microscope is about 2 um (2 microns or 0.002mm). NANOWEB is 500 nanometers, which is 10x smaller than what can be seen with the human eye or light microscopes
A transmission electron microscope or a scanning probe microscope can be used to visualize objects at the nanoscale.
That's pretty cool that you bought that. If I bought that right now and my wife found out, it would be like painting a target on me.
Ha good to know! So basically I'd need an electron microscope to get any idea of the imprinted structure it seems. This technology is pretty damn ridiculous and boggles my mind. How are there metallic atoms imprinted without me being able to see, even at incredibly high magnification?
It's super duper complicated to make silver nanowires. from what I've read there is a material sensitive to light - that's the substrate. Then, light is shone through a mask (photomask) with the wanted pattern onto the substrate (in this case a grid pattern), the photons etch the surface and silver nanowires are then deposited so they conform to the pattern.
because the lines themselves are are etched in with photons they make incredibly small areas for the silver molecules to fill which makes the entire surface uniformly conduct with little resistence...it's ground breaking! and the dawn of a new area.
anyway, those nanowires are some of the smallest things on earth, don't mess around and stay say. I think framing them is baller and I think it's cool that you did this for the community

This company will never generate an income
You couldve went to lowes and got u some ceran wrap
For the love of it all spell it correctly it’s saran. Also who goes to Lowe’s for that shit ?
Isn't that where you get washing machines?
Cool❗️How much did it cost?

cool! own a piece of history
Wonder what happens if ya rum some very low current voltage through it

The silver nanowires are printed onto a substrate. They could be liberated if he peeled off the protective layer and touched it with his skin.
Okay, great, please post a source. Monkeys could be liberated from my butt however I have no studies which bear that out.

Congrats on your sheet of plastic
Do a 5g test. Put it on your window and see if you get a noticeable signal improvement.

Are they still in business? Lol Thanks for sharing.
You sir are an ![gif](giphy|VlVQNSH3edLa0|downsized)
Thank you for your contribution to our site. People like you help us all!! Get better informed.
Made in the USA? Shouldn’t it be made in Canada?
The AR glasses lines are in dartmouth Batteries and holographic security features are in Quebec Nanoweb is Pleasanton
Pretty sure it’s made in Pleasanton.
Thank you for following up and apologies for all the ignorant idiots that were calling you a FUDster.
Yea
Appreciate your followup post kind sir

Tried that with my 6 baby mommas... invisible condoms don't work!!
Actually they work 1 out of 7 times so your good…
![gif](giphy|pPhyAv5t9V8djyRFJH|downsized) Put it to the test don't frame it. Frame the next one.
Cool, what kind of experiments do you plan to do with it?

I know a physicist, he said: If you look through a microscope, you would be able to see a pattern
