Abstract

In the present research, a new surface coating method (dissolving-coating method) that is on the basis of dissolution mechanism was designed. Substantially transparent antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) particles were used instead of carbon black as conductive particles. ATO coated polyester (PET) fibres and ATO coated polycaprolactam (PA6) fibres were prepared by the traditional coating method and the dissolving–coating method respectively. The electrical conductivity, mechanical property and launderability of the coated fibres were discussed. For the characterisation, a laser particle size distribution analyser was used to analyse the size distribution of ATO. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmittance electron microscopy (TEM) were used for the observation of ATO particles and fibre surface. Electron probe was carried out to make an elemental analysis of the fibre.
