Boosting electrical conductivity of textiles via fabrication of silver nano-ribbons using the fiber templates

Abstract

This research has accomplished an exceptional achievement to synthesize metallic nano-ribbons. A simple and fast spray method has been used to fabrication the metallic ribbon-shape nanostructures on the cotton fabrics. In fact cotton fabrics can act as a good template directing the shape of nanostructures. The method to achieve this end has been reported and discussed. The SEM micrographs demonstrated the nano-ribbon fabrication. Evaluation the electrical conductivity disclosed that electrical resistance of fabrics containing the silver nano-ribbons has been decrease about 7640 times as compared to untreated one. In fact electrical resistance has been declined from 6.53×109.cm-1 on treated fabrics to 8.55 ×105.cm-1 on untreated fabrics. Consequently, applying this technique decreases the electrical resistance by four orders of magnitude.
