ABSTRACT:
Nanowire dispersion compositions (and uses thereof) are disclosed comprising a plurality of inorganic nanowires suspended in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution comprising at least one low molecular weight and/or low HLB (Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) value dispersant. Methods of further improving the dispersability of a plurality of inorganic nanowires in an aqueous or non-aqueous solution comprise, for example, oxidizing the surface of the nanowires prior to dispersing the nanowires in the aqueous or non-aqueous solution.
