ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS FOR TEXTILE STRUCTURES BASED ON COPPER YARNS
Abstract
The paper presents a new approach to the design and development of textile woven structures with copper yarn content intended for heating systems. Copper is known for its high electrical conductivity, meaning it can easily transfer electrical energy through its surface. This makes copper yarns ideal for heating applications, as they can quickly and efficiently transfer heat to the surrounding environment. In addition to their electrical properties, copper yarns also have good thermal conductivity, which means that they can transfer heat from one surface to another without losing much energy. Copper yarns are also highly durable and flexible, assuring comfort to wear, non-toxic, reliable, and safe which makes them ideal for use in a range of textile performance applications, including clothing and non-clothing systems, with reduced risk of fire or electrical hazards. The analysis of the surface electrical resistivity as a function of the structural parameters of the woven textile structures, namely the distribution and the thickness of the copper yarns in the fabric's weft will highlight the variations between the conductive fabrics developed.
