Abstract
Copper-coated glass fabric was successfully fabricated via electroless plating method, and the copper layer on the surface of glass fabric was continuous and compact. The chemical composition of the copper coatings was investigated by X-ray diffraction, and the microstructures were invested by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the quality of the copper layer was closely related to the dosage of NaOH and reducing reagent, respectively. These composites possessed excellent conductivity with the volume resistivity up to 2.57 × 10−3 Ω cm, and can be used as shielding materials.
