Electrically conductive textile platform
2009-09-23 13:10:00 EMPA – an interdisciplinary research and services institution for material sciences and technology development within the ETH Domain will present this Friday at the Smart Textile s Salon in Ghent, the ‘Conducting textile platform based on novel e-fibers’. There are different technologies and processes to create electrical conductive fibers and yarns, some use fine silver wires spun together with polyester yarn, some coat polyester yarn with a metal layer and others coat woven textiles with metals to make them electrically conductive. The research team at EMPA uses a low-pressure plasma sputtering process to coat a 100-200 nm thick metal layer on common monofil- or multifil- yarns. This process does not change the properties of the fibers base material but make them reliably conductive for low-current signals such as audio signals, computer interfaces (e.g. USB) or low current supply. The typical resistance they can achieve is 5 to 50 Ohms per cm. The aim of the EMPA... More About: Platform
