Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electronic devices and the preparation of flexible conductive substrates in the field of wearable technology, in particular to a preparation method of a flexible conductive fabric substrate with low surface roughness.
Background
Today, technology is changing day by day, and various electronic devices such as smart phones, AI glasses, and smart watches accompany our daily lives. In the face of the technical surge of electronic products, researchers generally think that the wearable intelligent fabric prepared by miniaturizing and flexibilizing some electronic devices and combining the electronic devices with the fabric can better expand the application of the electronic products and enrich the lives of people. The electronic device is directly combined with the fabric, such as outdoor clothes, hats, backpacks, tents and the like, to form the extensible ultra-flexible wearable intelligent textile, so that the weight of the wearable intelligent textile in outdoor activities can be reduced, and the use comfort of the wearable equipment is improved.
However, some intelligent electronic devices such as a novel solar cell and an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) have a very thin film layer, which is only several hundred nanometers or even several tens nanometers thick, so that the problem that a conductive layer is directly formed on a fabric, which has too high surface roughness and does not utilize the growth of the film layer, is encountered, and the development of wearable intelligent textiles is limited. In view of the above, the invention innovatively uses a demolding process, selects a glass slide as a template substrate, and generates a layer of nano silver wire film as a conductive medium by spin coating on the glass slide; then selecting high polymer polyvinyl alcohol as a demoulding high polymer material, coating the high polymer material on a glass slide-nano silver wire fiber substrate, and covering the selected plain weave fabric on a polymer before the high polymer is cured; heating for a period of time, and peeling off the materials to obtain the flexible fabric conductive substrate respectively comprising cloth, polyvinyl alcohol and nano silver wire fibers from bottom to top. The conductive fabric substrate prepared by the method has good light transmission and excellent conductivity, more importantly, has smooth surface and low roughness, and can be applied to large-scale preparation of wearable intelligent devices with higher requirements on the surface roughness of the substrate.
