Analysis of Structure and Properties of Chemically Metallized Polyacrylonitrile Fibrous Materials

Abstract

The fundamental possibility of modifying polyacrylonitrile fiber fillers by chemical metallization was demonstrated. Technological regimes and electrolyte compositions for chemical silvering and coppering were selected. It was established that the obtained coatings on variously oxidized fibrous wastes from production of oxy-PAN are distinguished by good adhesion and high electrical characteristics and can be used for low-voltage electrical connections for the flexible conductors widely used in electrotechnology.
