    Because traditional plastics conduct electricity very poorly, they are often used for insulation, which makes them useful as shielding materials for materials such as wires and circuit boards


    But scientists have been hoping to change that by adding other materials that give plastics conductive properties


    The new material was developed by electrical and computer engineers at the University of Michigan based on earlier work in the field


    Because these materials allow light to pass through the material efficiently, the transmittance of light is even higher than with plastic alone, reaching 88.


    "We have developed a method for coatings with high transparency, high electrical conductivity, low haze, excellent flexibility, ease of fabrication, and good compatibility with different surfaces," said study leader, Electronic Engineering and computer science professor Jay Guo


    Next, the team will explore how the material can be used as a transparent conductor for solar cells
