Characterization and Multifunction Application of Metalized Textile Materials

Original language description

The development of modern materials technology has drawn attention to more application possibilities for metalized fabrics. Metalized textiles not only have electrical conductivity, antibacterial properties, and electromagnetic shielding properties of metals but also significantly improve the softness and comfort of the material after combining with textiles. Under such circumstances, the application scenarios of metal-coated fabrics become very broad. For different applications, the selected technical methods are different. Traditional metal-coated fabrics are mainly achieved by blending metal fibers, metal ions reduction reaction (electroless plating or electroplating) on the surface of textiles, and controlled magnetic sputtering. Using appropriate post-processing methods, metal-coated textiles can be used as functional fabrics for electromagnetic shielding clothing. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding textiles is one of the important applications for metal-coated fabrics, especially for people sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. The primary mechanism of EMI shielding textiles is reflection, absorption, and multi-reflection of the inner material. Certain metals like silver and copper have inherently good antimicrobial properties. Textiles with silver or copper elements integrated on this basis have significantly improved antimicrobial properties. Especially at the current stage of the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for anti-microbial and anti-viral textiles is very urgent. Considering the skin’s sensitivity to these metals, such textiles should be suitable for outer fabrics, and the skin-friendly layer should not contain metal elements. Due to the electrical conductivity of metals, heat is generated when electricity is applied, and Joule‘s formula can also describe this phenomenon. Through the effective control of metal content and temperature, clothing that generates heat through Joule heat to resist cold weather has gradually entered the market. With intelligent control technology, the clothing temperature can be adjusted through mobile terminals, and the clothing temperature can be automatically adjusted after integrating temperature sensors. Good electrical conductivity also means the transmission of electrical signals. As an essential part of intelligent textiles, metal-coated textiles can effectively transmit electrical signals of human activities, including heartbeat, motion signals, etc., through integration with sensors. Combined with appropriate analysis software, such data can be efficiently acquired. This chapter will introduce the basic knowledge of metalized textiles, including the metallization method, essential characterization, and factors influencing the properties. Additionally, the application of metalized textiles will also be discussed.
