Abstract

A white conductive fiber is manufactured at an inexpensive cost having superior conductivity and high degree of whiteness, in which a metal coating plated on the fiber has superior adhesiveness. A method for manufacturing the white conductive fiber comprises the steps of mounting a wound fiber body formed by winding a continuous fiber to the fixing shaft, a step of flowing a plating solution from the fixing shaft to a plating bath via the wound fiber body so as to infiltrate the plating solution into the wound fiber body, and a step of performing electroless plating of silver, platinum, or the like on the fiber material while the plating solution flows.
