Electroless plate of polyaniline-silver composite layer on polyester fibers

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Antistatic fibers or conductive fibers can be obtained from formation of a metal conductive layer, for example silver, on the surface of polymeric fibers through a redox reaction. However, in the process of fabricating silver-polymer conductive fibers, the binding force between silver and the polymeric fiber matrix is too weak and the poor weather resistance greatly affects the performance of the conductive fibers. This work aims to synthesize composite conductive layers of polyaniline (PANi)-silver coated on polyester fibers to prepare conductive polymeric fibers, in order to improve the combining ability between the conductive layers and the fiber matrix. The morphology, thermostability, mechanical properties, washing resistance and corrosion resistance of the resultant fibers obtained from different synthesis conditions were characterized. Batch experimental results showed that the concentration of the reagent and the reaction time could affect the resistance of the PANi-silver coated conductive fibers. The results also demonstrated that the PANi-silver composite conductive fibers have better properties than those of the silver-polymer conductive fibers.</jats:p>

Recent Progress in Conducting Polymer Composite/Nanofiber-Based Strain and Pressure Sensors

“…Compact conductive layers can eventually restrict the diffusion. Ag coated fibers, with additional PANI layers found to possess better corrosion resistance, and additional binding forces can potentially elevate the durability and lifetime of the sensory devices [244]. Due to the ambient conditions or sensor working conditions, the sensor might experience electrical hysteresis, and such hysteresis can give rise to erroneous results.…”

Fabrication of robust silver plated conductive polyamide fibres based on tannic acid modification

“…11 Among the conductive treatments for bres, electroless plating is the most effective, 12 high utilization, simple operation and relatively low cost. Silver is the most widely used metallic layer in electroplating materials, 13,14 which is dense and uniform, without obvious defects and high bonding strength. 15,16 Therefore, electroless silver plating was carried out by silver mirror reaction between silver nitrate solution and glucose aer sensitization and activation treatment.…”

3D Printing Conductive Composites with Poly(ionic liquid) as a Noncovalent Intermedia to Fabricate Carbon Circuits

“…Conductive polymer composite (CPC) has the advantages of both metal and polymer, such as adjustable conductivity, diverse structures, and electromagnetic shielding effect. [1][2][3][4] It is widely used in life and production as the results of its low cost and simple processing. [5,6] Copper clad laminate (CCL) is one of the most significant CPCs in modern life, and is a type of base material of printed circuit board (PCB) which plays a crucial role in electronic component, such as a carrier for interconnecting electronic components and electrical appliances in 5G field.…”
