Abstract
There are provided a conductive nonwoven fabric and a manufacturing method thereof, the conductive nonwoven fabric including: a plated felt portion including a felt portion formed of a plurality of first fibers that extend in irregular directions and that are stacked, and a metal plating applied to the first fibers of the felt portion; and at least one plated warp including a warp formed of a plurality of second fibers and the metal plating applied to the second fibers of the warp. The at least one plated warp is formed to extend in a specific direction with respect to the plated felt portion, and a density of the second fibers is higher than a density of the first fibers.
Claims5
A conductive nonwoven fabric comprising:
- a plated felt portion including a felt portion formed of a plurality of first fibers that extend in irregular directions and that are stacked, and a metal plating applied to the first fibers of the felt portion;
- and
- at least one plated warp including a warp formed of a plurality of second fibers and the metal plating applied to the second fibers of the warp, wherein
- the at least one plated warp is formed to extend in a specific direction with respect to the plated felt portion, and
- a density of the second fibers is higher than a density of the first fibers.
A method for manufacturing a conductive nonwoven fabric, the method comprising:
- preparing a nonwoven fabric including:
- a felt portion in which a plurality of first fibers extending in irregular directions are stacked;
- and at least one warp formed of a plurality of second fibers and extending in a specific direction with respect to the felt portion, a density of the second fibers being higher than a density of the first fibers;
- putting the nonwoven fabric into a treatment tank to immerse the nonwoven fabric in a supercritical fluid or a subcritical fluid containing an organometallic complex of a plating catalyst metal;
- and
- applying a metal plating to the nonwoven fabric that has immersed.
