In order to develop the functional fabric endowed with electromagnetic shielding and thermal protection ability, hollow glass microspheres were first deposited with silver by electroless plating using silver nitrate 0.03 mol/L, ammonium hydroxide 0.008 mol/L, sodium hydroxide 0.1 mol/L, glucose 0.005 mol/L, tartaric acid 0.0006 mol/L, and anhydrous alcohol 0.18 mol/L. The Ag-deposited hollow glass microspheres were subsequently coated on the surface of PET/cotton fabric by adhesive printing process. The particle integrity, morphology, composition, and crystal texture of Ag-deposited microspheres were investigated by means of size distribution, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The diffuse reflectance spectrum, electrical conduction, shielding effectiveness, and thermal radiant protection performances were also measured. The results showed that a specific performance of PET/cotton fabric coated with Ag-deposited glass microspheres was obtained. © The Author(s) 2012.
