Comparative dimensional statistical analyses by SEM, between unmetallized and gold-metallized CuO-nanotreatments from textile substrates

Abstract

In this work, the copper-oxide nanotreatment, sonochemically deposited onto textile substrate, was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analyses were performed in high-vacuum conditions, using a detector for backscattered electrons (GAD - gaseous analytical detector). The statistical dimensional analysis was applied on the nanoparticles of the investigated treatment. Towards comparing of the results, this characterization was used in two cases: unmetallized sample and sputtering gold-metallized sample.
