Patent ID: 8518478

Claim:
A method of manufacturing conductive fibers, which comprises the following steps: (i) preparing fibers coated with a silver complex compound, which is prepared by reacting silver compound represented by formula 1, and one or more compounds selected from ammonium carbamate based compound represented by formula 2, ammonium carbonate based compound represented by formula 3 and ammonium bicarbonate based compound represented by formula 4 and the mixture thereof, by coating the silver complex compound coating solution on a strand or a bundle of fiber; (ii) preparing fibers having a silver coating layer by heating the silver complex compound coated fibers; and (iii) forming an anti-oxidant layer on the silver coating layer: wherein, X is a substituent selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, halogen, cyano, cyanate, carbonate, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, phosphate, thiocyanate, chlorate, perchlorate, tetrafluoroborate, acetylacetonate, carboxylate and their derivatives, n is an integer of 1-4, R 1 -R 6 are independently H, hydroxyl group, C 1 -C 30 alkoxy group, C 1 -C 30 aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alkyl group or C 6 -C 20 aryl or aralkyl group, functional group-substituted C 1 -C 30 alkyl and aryl group, heterocyclic compound and polymer and their derivatives, wherein at least one of R 1 -R 6 is independently selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropil, butyl, isobutyl amyl, hexyl, ethylhexyl, heptyl, octyl, isooctyl, nonyl, decyl, dodecyl, hexadecyl, octadecyl, docodecyl, cyclopropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, allyl, hydroxy, methoxy, methoxyethyl, methoxypropyl, cyanoethyl, ethoxy, butoxy, hexyloxy, methoxyethoxyethyl, methoxyethoxyethoxyethyl, hexamethyleneimine, morpholine, piperidine, piperazine, ethylenediamine, propylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, triethylenediamine, pyrrole, imidazole, pyridine, carboxymethyl, trimethoxysilylpropyl, triethoxysilylpropyl, phenyl, methoxyphenyl, cyanophenyl, phenoxy, tolyl, benzyl, polyallylamine, polyethyleneamine and a derivative thereof.
