In this study, transparent conductive films of tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) were deposited onto the polyamide 6 (PA6) nanofiber substrates at room temperature. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to study the morphology of the nanofibers, respectively. The AFM results indicated a significant change in the morphology of the nanofibers before and
after the ITO sputter coatings. The light transmittance and surface conductivity of the ITO-deposited nanofibers
were also investigated. It was found that the surface resistivity of the PA6 nanofiber with the ITO deposition had a significant drop and the ITO deposition obviously affected the light transmittance of the PA6 nanofibers.
