These conductive textiles will be used to make thermoelectric generators based\u0000on the Seebeck effect. Since the experimental development involves the use of the magnetron sputtering method with\u0000more than three variables, the Taguchi method was selected to observe how different parameters (5 independent\u0000variables such as argon flow, power, pressure, deposition surface area and metal type used for solid targets) influence\u0000the mean and variance of the process performance defined by the thickness of the metal film deposited (dependent\u0000variable). In the experimental design framework, the analysis using the Taguchi method, followed by optimisation,\u0000helped select the optimal experiments from the set of possible experiments. This methodology reduced the number of\u0000experiments by 21–42% and minimised resource consumption (e.g., metal targets, argon, energy).","PeriodicalId":13638,"journal":{"name":"Industria Textila","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140426480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
