A coating device, comprising a supply roller having a first contact surface, and a counter-roller placed opposite the supply roller and a second contact surface substantially parallel to the first contact surface. The contact surfaces are at least a substrate width in width and maintain a mutual gap for receiving the substrate therein in contact with both contact surfaces. The supply roller and counter-roller are each rotatable about their central axis. A liquid is supplied to the supply roller. At least the contact surface of the supply roller or the counter-roller is axially adjustable along the central axis thereof. Adjusting means align an edge of the contact surface of the supply roller and the counter-roller with a side of the substrate. An opposite edge of the other of the supply roller and the counter-roller is aligned with an opposite side of the substrate.

A metallic nanowire: conductive polymer composite is fabricated. A metallic nanowire layer is formed by a process that leaves an organic ligand residue on the metallic nanowire layer. A conductive polymer film is formed on a supporting substrate. The metallic nanowire layer is integrated with the conductive polymer film to form a metallic nanowire: conductive polymer composite. The metallic nanowire: conductive polymer composite is wet by a reaction solution including a source of metal ions, at least one acid, and a solvent for a period of time sufficient to remove the organic ligand residues from the metallic nanowire layer and sufficient to grow metal nanoparticles from the source of metal ions to create metal interconnections at junctions where the two or more nanowires in the metallic nanowire layer touch each other. Following growth of the nanoparticles, the nanowire: conductive polymer composite is removed from the reaction solution and dried.
