Summary:According to SPNano, the coppercoated textile combines the electronic characteristics of metals with the engineering properties of polymers. The role of the coated SP1/CB coating is to provide Pd binding sites because pristine yarns or protein-treated yarns do not allow electroless coating under these conditions (See Figure 3). Since palladium is the most expensive part of the electroless copper process, it was important to reduce its quantity without affecting the yarn quality, particularly with respect to plating coverage.
