Electroless silver plating on tetraethoxy silane-bridged fiber glass

Preparation of electroless copper coated glass fiber and piezoresistive properties of copper coated glass fiber reinforced plastics

“…The volume resistivity of metallized glass fiber can achieve 10 −3 -10 −4 ·cm, even 10 −5 ·cm, which is ten times as low as that of carbon fiber. Reported in the former patent [4][5][6], glass fibers coated with nickel copper, gold, silver, etc. had many advantages, such as good conductivity, high strength, uniform plating layer and low cost compared with carbon fibers and it is expected to improve the piezoresistive sensitivity of fibers reinforced plastics.…”

Modifying glass fiber surface with grafting acrylamide by UV-grafting copolymerization for preparation of glass fiber reinforced PVDF composite membrane

“…Good interfacial adhesion allows more effective stress transfer from the matrix to the reinforcement materials and increases the ultimate strength of the composite (Cui and Kessler, 2012;Drzal, 1990;Etcheverry et al, 2013;Kamae and Drzal, 2012), and high interfacial strength is the key issue to obtain high-performance GF reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites (Chen et al, 2014;Jarukumjorn and Suppakarn, 2009;Lien et al, 2012;Yoo et al, 2011).…”

Preparation of Conductive Polyester Fibers Using Continuous Two-Step Plating Silver

“…To the best of our knowledge, the study of fiber electroless silver plating has mainly focused on chemical plating under static conditions where the technology tends to be more mature [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ], but that the study of the dynamic continuous silver plating of fibers has been seldom reported. In addition, due to the shorter reaction time, the electroless silver-plated fibers have a thin silver coating on the surface with very poor durability.…”
