Fabrication of Ag-coated polyester fabric using the non-thermal plasma jet

Plasma printing techniques are being developed as a modern approach for depositing different functional materials. In this work, a nonthermal plasma jet working in atmospheric pressure was employed to print silver nanoparticles on flexible polyester fabric substrates. Atomized droplets of silver nitrate solution were exposed to plasma reducing them to silver nanoparticles, which were printed on the substrates in a controlled condition. X-ray diffraction results confirmed the deposition of face-center cubic nanoparticles on the substrates. Field-enhanced electron scanning microscopy images demonstrated that these nanoparticles have an almost spherical shape.
