Abstract:
In this paper conductive yarns were made by coating the yarns with a solution having carbon black nanoparticles (CB)
with an average diameter of 18 nm, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and water. For a continuous coating deposition it is necessary to obtain a solution of a certain consistency; for this reason, carbon black nanoparticles are mixed with the
ingredients so that the resulting film deposited as a thin layer on the yarn to be conductive, and at the same time flexible. The carbon black nanoparticles tend to form aggregates; this is why the solution should be stirred continuously. The
yarns used as support are different from the nature, fineness and structure point of view. Several variants of yarns were chosen in order to decide which ones are appropriate for obtaining conductive yarns that
keep their specific initial properties. The variants of conductive yarns obtained were tested in terms of physical and mechanical properties (tensile strength,
elongation), and from the viewpoint of electrical properties, electrical resistivity was measured. After coating the conductive layer, yarns shows greater rigidity, but can be used to obtain textile materials such as woven fabrics.
After performing the measurements, it can be concluded that the yarns coated with a conductive solution based on CB shows electrical conductivity and can be used for obtaining conductive textile fabrics.
