Abstract
The options to deposit chemically a functional composite copper-diamond coating from trilonic electrolyte have been studied with respect to textile polyethylene terephthalate substrate. The optimal basic composition of the electrolyte for surface treatment and the optimal conditions of deposition has been found from the viewpoint of the deposition rate, respectively the thickness of qualitative layer of the copper matrix. A systematic study of the influence of different types and concentrations of surface active agents (SAA) and different temperatures of the electrolyte at continuous air flow stiring has been realized, aimed co-deposition of copper metal-matrix composite, containing diamond particles (sizes, varying within the range 3-70mm). Keywords: coating; fabrics/textiles; surface treatments; metal-matrix composites (MMCs); functional composites
