文摘
A facile method was developed to fabricate highly electrically conductive aramid fibers. The immobilization of silver nanoparticles on the surface of polymetaphenylene isophthamide (PMIA) fibers was carried out by the functionalization of the PMIA fibers with poly(dopamine), followed by electroless silver plating. The poly(dopamine) (PDA) layer was deposited on the PMIA surface by simply dipping the PMIA substrate into an alkaline dopamine solution. The silver ions can be chemically bound to the catechol and indole functional groups in PDA. The silver ions were reduced into silver nanoparticles by using glucose as the reducing agent, resulting in a distinct silver layer on the PMIA surface. The obtained silver deposit was homogeneous and compact. The chemical composition of the modified PMIA fibers was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and the crystalline structure of the silver-coated PMIA fibers was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The topography of the modified PMIA fibers was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The four-point probe resistivity meter was used to study the electrical resistivity of the silver-coated PMIA fibers, the results indicated that the electrical resistivity could be as low as 0.61 m惟路cm, with a controllable silver content, and a satisfactory stability by ultrasonic treatment.
