Abstract An environmental-friendly electroless copper plating process was
employed in preparing copper-coated polyester fabric with excellent
conductivity. The effects of bath temperature on the plating rate,
compositions and crystal structure of the electroless copper
deposits were studied. The results showed the deposition rate
increased with the rise of the bath temperature. X-ray Diffraction
(XRD) scan indicated that the copper coating deposited was well
crystallized and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) scan showed
copper coating had good surface morphology. Surface resistance of
copper plated polyester fabric was evaluated. The surface resistance
was 16.5 m$\Omega$/sq as the temperatue was 65 $^{\circ}$C.
