Abstract:

Work associated with obtaining an electroconductive layer on the surface of selected textile structures using vacuum deposition technology is described in the paper. The vacuum deposition method gives the opportunity to receive products if the metal layers obtained have good electrical conductivity with just the adhesion of particles to the textile substrate. The experimental work on the application of metallic layers on fabric samples were divided
into three stages. At each stage, the conductivity of the layers obtained was investigated. A microscopic examination was carried out using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy in order to evaluate the continuity of the electroconductive layers deposited. Based on the work, it was found that the sputtered layers are characterised by an electrical
conductivity depending on the process parameters.
