The invention relates to an electroconductive textile material and method of preparation thereof. The method consists mainly of two stages: 1) special pretreatment of the fabric substrate for activation and making it suitable for subsequent application and strong attachment of a conductive coating with the use of a layer-by-layer technique (LBL); 2) subsequent application and strong attachment of a conductive coating by means of a layer-by-layer technique. The first stage may be carried out thermally, thermochemically, by treating in hot solutions, or plasma-chemically by plasma treatment. The pre-treatment may be performed, e.g., for swelling and / or for the formation of unsaturated chemical bonds or uncompensated charges in the fabric material.
