AB  - Mechanical properties of transparent electrodes, including flexibility, are 
      important in flexible electronics for sustaining electrical conductivity under 
      bending with small radius of curvature. Low contact resistance of junctions in 
      metal nanowire percolation networks is the most important factor to produce 
      electrodes with excellent optical, electrical and mechanical performance. Here, 
      we report the fabrication of welded silver nanowire percolation networks using 
      large pulsed electron beam (LPEB) irradiation as a welding process of silver 
      nanowires (AgNWs). It results in modification of electrical and mechanical 
      properties because of the low contact resistance at welded junctions. 
      Consequently, the flexible and transparent AgNW electrodes fabricated by LPEB 
      irradiation showed lower sheet resistance of 12.63 Omega sq(-1) at high transmittance 
      of 93% (at 550 nm), and superb mechanical flexibility, compared with other AgNW 
      electrodes prepared by thermal treatement and without any treatment. Polymer 
      light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) using AgNWs by LPEB irradiation were fabricated to 
      confirm that the AgNW electrode by LPEB irradiation was able to become 
      alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) and they showed good device performance as 
      a maximum luminous efficiency of 7.37 cd A(-1), and excellent mechanical 
      flexibility under bending with small radius of curvature.
