Silvija Kukle, Svetlana Vihodceva

Surface functionalization of textiles refers to the use of wide range of technologies designed to change the surface properties of textiles to create the surface structures that give the textile product the desired properties. Having the ability to functionalize the surfaces of natural fibers offers great rewards that go far beyond pure economics as natural fibers are renewable and biodegradable resources. One of the main tasks of presented research are to impact the additional value on natural fabrics by adding them new properties with a metal nano-level coating, evaluate coating technologies. Metal coated textiles have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their special surface properties, such as UV-absorption, EMI shielding, antimicrobial and anti-fungicidal. The paper describes the process of vacuum evaporation and magnetron sputtering of copper coatings on pure cotton textile materials, analysis of the metal coated textile surface by laser laboratory complex and SEM.
