Notes:
Silver-plated textiles have exhibited their specific features not only on mechanicalperformance but also on functional properties. In this study, silver plating technique was appliedon cotton fabric to improve its functional properties, especially the anti-bacterial and anti-UVproperties. Silver plating was conducted in this research with the aid of oxygen and argonlow-temperature plasma (LTP) pre-treatment on the cotton fabric to manipulate the film of thecoating. The silver-plated cotton fabric was characterized in terms of its functional properties.The micro-roughness formed on the cotton fabric after the LTP pre-treatment facilitated the silverparticles deposition. As a result, the anti-bacterial and anti-UV properties of the silver-platedcotton fabric and the water repellent ability of the cotton fabric were improved after thesilver-plating process
