The hybrid ITO consists of domains in one orientation grown on the AgNPs and a matrix of the other orientation. The domains are stronger than the matrix and function as barriers to crack propagation. As a result, both the critical bending radius (r(c)) (under which the resistivity change (Delta rho) is less than a given value) and the change in Delta rho with decreasing r significantly decreased in the hybrid ITO compared with homogenous ITO.
