A conductive mesh for a touch panel consists of a plurality of carbon nanotube composite wires. The carbon nanotube composite wire comprises a carbon nanotube wire and a metal layer. The carbon nanotube wire comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes spirally arranged along an axial direction of the carbon nanotube wire. A touch panel using the conductive mesh is also provided.

A method of patterning a conductive layer to form transparent electrical conductors that does not require etching is disclosed. The method includes peeling a strippable polymer layer from a substrate coated with the conductive layer to pattern the conductive layer. In some embodiments, a resist matrix material is patterned over the conductive layer to prevent removal of the conductive layer beneath the resist matrix material. In other embodiments, a liner having a pressure sensitive adhesive surface is brought into contact with the patterned strippable polymer material to remove both the patterned strippable polymer material and the conductive layer beneath it.
