Abstract: A thin film of an electrically conductive material (16) is applied to form an electrically conductive surface (22) on a surface (18) of a polymer coated fabric (14). The method involves coating a woven glass fiber fabric (14) with a polymer solution (6), curing the polymer solution on the glass fiber fabric and then depositing the electrically conductive material onto the cured polymer surface, typically by a sputtering technique, to form a flexible, electrically conductive fabric (24). This method helps to ensure that when the electrically conductive material is applied, the electrically conductive surface formed is continuous and is of a controlled, generally constant, thickness. The substantial continuity of the electrically conductive surface is maintained even when the electrically conductive fabric is flexed during subsequent manufacturing operations.
