Highly conductive woven fabrics (WF) can be used as electronic components. Resistivity is an intrinsic physical property of the conductive textile materials (CTM). The McLachlan model that describes the resistivity of a two-component macroscopic composite (TCMC) subjected to a constant external electric field was proposed to predict the resistivity of fabrics. The volume fraction of voids in material, the voids dimension, and a single morphology parameter were taken into account. The resistivity of a chosen WF was determined based on the model. Verification of the received results was carried out. In the case of four samples, the verification was confirmed by the high level of prediction being in the range of 83-88%. In the case of one sample, the verification was negative (26%). This allowed one to pay attention to the influence of compactness and irregularity of the woven structure on results received using the model.

“…The magnetron sputtering technology can be used to prepare super-hard films, wearable and corrosion-resistant films, superconducting films, magnetic films, optical films, and other specific films [1]. It has been using the magnetron sputtering to deposit thin films on fabric to obtain functionalities, such as wettability, hydrophilicity, hydrophobicity, antibacterial property, and uvioresistant property [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Abstract. Fluorocarbon (FC) films were prepared on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plates and PET fabrics respectively by a radiofrequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a target. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to investigate the morphology, structure and composition of the obtained FC films. The hydrophobicity and uvioresistant properties of the FC film coated fabric were studied. The results show that the FC films were successfully deposited on the PET substrates by a RF magnetron sputtering. The deposited films are made up of four components -CF3, -CF2-, CF-and -C-. The proportions of the four components and surface morphologies of the deposited films vary with the sputtering conditions. Compared with the original fabric samples, the hydrophobicity of the FC film coated fabrics is quite good and improved significantly.

“…Recently, growing interest in Plasma Assisted Physical Vapor Deposition (PA-PVD) for surface modification of textiles has been * E-mail: rafal.chodun@inmat.pw.edu.pl observed. The magnetron sputtering method (MS) as the most widely used PAPVD method seemed to be a good choice [6][7][8]. Unfortunately, the most common problems for coatings deposition on textiles by MS are poor adhesion, cracking and limited thickness [9,10].…”

The synthesis of coatings on textiles fibers enables functionalization of their properties e.g.: changing the reaction on IR radiation. In our experiment, a magnetron with a grounded cathode and positively biased anode was used as a source of plasma. A ring anode was positioned at 8 cm distance from the cathode. Samples of glass and cotton textile were placed at the plane of the anode. Ti and TiN coatings were deposited by sputtering of titanium target in Ar or Ar+ N 2 atmosphere. SEM studies showed that, using the magnetron system described above, the textile fibers were covered by the 2 µm to 3 µm thick coatings. Unexpectedly, the coatings were deposited at both sides of the samples: the front side was exposed to glow discharge plasma and the backside was completely shaded from the plasma. IR optical investigation exhibited significant change in reflectance and transmittance of the coated textiles. The using of standard magnetron system (grounded anode and cathode at negative potential) resulted in a coating deposition at the textile side exposed to the plasma action only. We believe that the multi-sided deposition of coatings observed during the process run with magnetron with grounded cathode is a result of an ambipolar diffusion mechanism in the anodic potential drop region.
