Due to the difficulty in plating gold directly on organic and inorganic fibers, gold plating was carried out on the surface of copper-plated and nickel-plated fibers; for the latter the nickel was plated on the copper-plated fibers. Namely, composite fibers, termed PBO/Cu/Au and PBO/Cu/Ni/Au, were prepared. The morphology of plated fibers was studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy and electrochemical polarization measurements. It was found that gold was uniformly plated on the PBO fiber, and the gold-plated fibers have good corrosion resistance. The electrical conductivities of the two kinds of gold-plated fibers were higher than 4×104S/cm, and their tensile strengths and Young's moduli were greater than 1.9GPa and 130GPa, respectively, when estimated in terms of a single composite fiber.
