研究目的
To prepare silver coated PET fibers with antimicrobial activity, electrical conductivity, and good coating stability using rapid polydopamine modification and electroless plating, and to investigate their properties including mechanical durability.
研究成果
The silver coated PET fibers exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity (100% for E. coli and 99.99% for S. aureus), good electrical conductivity (0.76 Ω/cm), and robust mechanical durability. The rapid PDA modification method using CuSO4/H2O2 significantly reduced processing time. These fibers are promising for functional fabrics in healthcare and smart wearables, with suggestions for future research on long-term stability and broader applications.
研究不足
The study may have limitations in scalability for industrial applications, potential variability in coating uniformity, and the use of specific chemicals like CuSO4/H2O2 which might introduce impurities or affect biocompatibility. Optimization of reaction conditions for different fiber types was not explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a rapid polydopamine (PDA) modification method accelerated by CuSO4/H2O2, followed by electroless silver plating to functionalize PET fibers. This design aimed to reduce the time-consuming nature of traditional PDA modification.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Commercial PET multifilament yarns (1500/136/0 specification) were used. Samples included pristine PET, PDA-modified PET, and silver-coated PET fibers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included PET fibers, dopamine hydrochloride, Tris, silver nitrate, copper sulfate, hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, glucose, ethanol, and distilled water. Equipment included FTIR (Nicolet iS5), SEM (Phenom Pro), AFM, XRD (Bruker D8 Advance), EDS (INCAx-Sight6427), ultrasonic washer, water-resistant colorfastness tester (SW 20B), tensile testing machine, and digital multimeter.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
PET fibers were cleaned, then modified with PDA using DA/CuSO4/H2O2 solution at 25°C for 1 hour. Silver was deposited via electroless plating with silver nitrate and glucose. Characterization involved FTIR, SEM, AFM, XRD, EDS. Antimicrobial tests used agar diffusion and shake flask methods. Conductivity and mechanical durability were tested with tensile loading and cyclic deformation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using ImageJ for particle size, and statistical methods for antimicrobial efficiency calculations. Electrical resistance was measured directly with a multimeter.
