Claim Text:
1. A nanostructure dispersion comprising: a mixture of a dispersion of host metallic nanostructures having a first organic coating on an exterior surface of the host metallic nanostructures and metallic nanoparticles having a second organic surface coating on an exterior surface of the metallic nanoparticles, the host metallic nanostructures forming a network that supports the metallic nanoparticles, the second organic coating being different than the first organic coating such that the metallic nanostructures and metallic nanoparticles are attracted to each other upon admixture of the host metallic nanostructures and metallic nanoparticles and remain attracted upon deposition of the mixture onto a substrate.
