High Modulus and High Strength Fibers with High Electric Conductivity Prepared by Copper Electroless Plating on the Surface of Poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO)

Abstract: ABSTRACT:In attempt to produce high modulus and high strength fibers with high electric conductivity, copper plating on the surface of poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) fiber was carried out by using electroless plating, since PBO is a super-heat resistant polymer with the highest Young's modulus among polymers but is an insulator. The mechanical and electrical properties of the plated fibers were investigated as a function of copper content. At the maximum volume fraction of copper, ca. 30

“…Since polymer fibres are non-conductors of electricity, this method was resorted to for metallizing the polymer fibres to improve the wettability of the fibres with the metal matrix for the development of HPP reinforced MMC. It was already reported [6,8] that PBO fibres can be electroless copper coated, and that copper is the most suitable material that has very good adhesion with the PBO fibres when compared with other materials like nickel, silver, and gold. Copper metal also has higher melting point of 1358.15 K, which is much higher than the processing temperature of the metal matrix materials considered here, and also forms chemical compounds with that of suitable matrix materials which can be inferred with the help of phase diagrams.…”

“…Alternative conditions of electroless deposition and metal types (e.g., Au, Pt, and Pd,) should be encouraged and moreover be explored to find the scope for formation of more stable metal over-layers with slight or without any metal atom penetration. Electroless Cu plating developed on nanofibers with the attributes of [67] high modulus and high strength, and particularly high electric conductivity on the surface of poly (p-) phenylene benzobisoxazole. A simple electroless Cu-coated prepared on glass nanofiber with excellent conductivity.…”

“…Nevertheless, the current copper wires become finer, the tensile-strength become weaker. To solve this problem, the production technique of copper wire, which is formed with copper plated on the surface of a super fiber, is researched [1]. Although the super fiber is a high strength and high modulus polymer resin, adhesion strength between the metal and the resin is weak due to low surface energy of the resin, and the copper plated layer on the resin is easily peeled off [2].…”
