ABSTRACT

Abstract― Highly conductive yarn was successfully obtained using electroless nickel plating method with palladium activation. In the presence of palladium seed on surface of fibers as a catalyst, continuos nickel layer produced on surface of fibers by reducing Ni2+ ion in the electroless plating bath to Ni0. It was found that the Pd-activation using SnCl2 and PdCl2 to deposit palladium seeds on the surface of fibers plays a key role in the subsequent electroless plating of nickel. It also found that electroless nickel plating on the fibers can induce the nickel-plated ELEXⓇ fibers to improve the electrical conductivity of the fibers. The thickness of nickel coating layer on the Pd-activated ELEXⓇ fibers and specific conductivity of the fiber were increased through electroless plating time. The temperature of nickel plating bath was very effective to enhance the nickel deposition rate.
