Abstract

Flexible polymers modified with copper sulfides have emerged as a novel class of materials, presenting composite structures with remarkable properties suitable for applications in flexible electronics. This study focuses on the deposition of copper sulfide (CuxS) layers onto the surfaces of polyamide and polypropylene through the chemical bath deposition method, employing either 2 or 3 deposition cycles. The objective is to explore the impact of deposition cycles and discern the optimal conditions for the deposition process. Comprehensive analysis of the CuxS thin films entails techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction to shed light on their structural and optical characteristics.
