透明导电纤维是构建织物显示器件的核心组成部分, 目前其主要通过在高分子基体中掺杂导电的离子液体进行制备, 但其导电性较低, 难以有效满足应用需求. 将银纳米线涂覆在空气等离子体处理后的热塑性聚氨酯纤维表面, 得到了一种具有高导电性和高透明性的柔性透明导电纤维. 在等离子体处理后, 聚氨酯纤维表面接枝了大量亲水基团, 并与银纳米线表面所包覆的聚乙烯吡咯烷酮形成氢键作用, 促进银纳米线膜层牢固地粘附于聚氨酯纤维表面. 该透明导电纤维的电导率可达到10 S•cm-1, 较基于离子液体/聚氨酯的导电纤维提高1000倍, 其透光率超过75%, 在空气中放置14 d及弯折10万次后, 电导率仍能维持初始值的90%以上. 将该透明导电纤维编织构建成织物显示器件, 其发光亮度可达208 cd•m-2, 且具有良好的耐水洗和耐摩擦性能.

Transparent conductive fiber is an indispensable part of textile displays. The predominant strategy for fabricating transparent conductive fiber involves doping ionic liquid into polymer matrix. However, low conductivity of ionic liquid renders the fiber inadequate for practical application. Herein, we developed a flexible transparent conductive fiber exhibiting high conductivity, and high transparency by coating Ag nanowires (AgNWs) onto thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibers treated with air plasma. The specific synthesis processes are as follows: TPU fiber was cleaned in an ultrasonic bath using ethanol and deionized water respectively for 5 min each. The cleaned TPU fiber was treated by air plasma at 150 W for 3 min. The obtained fiber was then dip-coated in 2 mg•mL-1 AgNWs ethanol dispersion for 1 min and dried in air for 5 min. After repeating 3 times of dip-coating process, the TPU@AgNWs transparent conductive fiber was prepared. The hydrophobicity of TPU impedes uniform adhesion and morphological stability of directly applied hydrophilic AgNWs conductive coatings on TPU fibers. Following plasma treatment, abundant hydrophilic groups are uniformly introduced onto TPU fiber surface. Water contact angle diminishes with the extended time of plasma treatment, verifies the hydrophilicity improvement of TPU fiber. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) reveals increasing C—O/C—N and N—O bond contributions derived of hydrophilic groups. These groups form hydrogen bonds with the polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) coating on the AgNWs, resulting in a strong and uniform adhesion of the AgNWs layer to the TPU fiber substrate. The transparent conductive fiber achieves a conductivity of 10 S•cm⁻¹, which is 1000 times of the TPU@ionic liquid fiber, combined with a transparency exceeding 75%. After 14 d of ambient storage and 100,000 bending cycles, it retains over 90% of its initial conductivity. The as-prepared TPU@AgNWs transparent conductive fibers were weaved into a textile with luminescent fiber electrodes (a copper fiber successively coated BaTiO3 dielectric layer, ZnS phosphor layer and polyurethane encapsulation layer) by an industrial rapier loom to prepare a textile display. The TPU@AgNWs transparent conductive fibers enable display luminance reaching 208 cd•m-2, along with excellent washability and abrasion resistance.
