Preparation of Copper Sulfide Deposition on Modified Poly(Ethylene Terephtalate) Fibres with Good Conductivity
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The immobilization of CuS on the surface of poly (ethylene terephtalate) (PET) fibres was carried out by the functionalization of PET fibres with chitosan (CS), followed by the chemical deposition method. Crosslinked chitosan with NH2 functionality was used as a chelator to absorb copper ions, which can successfully initiate CuS deposition in the following chemical deposition stage. The CuS-loaded fibres were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermal gravimetry, respectively. The properties of tensile and conductivity were also investigated. The lowest surface resistance 42 Ω/cm of the treated PET fibres was obtained when the CS concentration was 1.0%.

Relation between Extension and Bursting Strength Properties of the Denim Viewed Knitted Fabrics Produced by Cellulosic Fibers
Denim viewed knitted fabrics are softer, cheaper, and more elastic than woven denim fabrics. Clothes which are produced by these fabrics adapt the body movement easily because of their flexible structure. Since these fab...
