Preparation and Characterization of Electroless Silver Plating on PAN fiber with chelating agent of APTES/MPTES

摘要

Modified by silane coupling agents APTES and MPTES,PAN fiber was provided with multi-chelating-group on it.Through the chelating effect,it can be directly used to eletroless silver plating without roughening,sensitization and activation.The molecule structure,morphology and thermal stability were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and therm-gravimetric (TG) analysis.In addition,electrical conductivity,and washing performance were also tested respectively.The results indicated that silver-coated PAN fiber based on APTES/MPTES modification had high conductivity with a compact and homogeneous silver layer,as well as good washing fastness performance.
