How to produce the silver fibers and conductive fabrics

Silver, a miraculous product of nature, in addition to being a precious metal, also has excellent electrical conductivity and bactericidal properties. How to produce silver fiber and conductive fabrics?

First of all, silver ions and ammonia water form a silver-ammonia complex, and then under the action of reducing agents such as glucose and formaldehyde, silver ions are reduced to silver atoms.

Pure monomer silver is combined on the surface of the polyamide fiber through intermolecular forces, forming a double-layer structure with the inner core of polyamide fiber and the skin layer of pure silver, so as to obtain soft silver fiber. It not only has excellent weaving properties, but also preserves the excellent conductivity and sterilization properties of silver.

Because the silver atom is combined with the polyamide fiber through the intermolecular force, rather than the simple deposition, the binding force is strong, the fastness is high, so that the silver will not fall off during the weaving and wearing process, so as to ensure the conductive sterilization performance of silver in the use of silver fiber conductive antibacterial fabric for a long time.
