Abstract

The durable conductive fiber was developed by the concepts of new nano composite technique. The fiber is composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sulfide copper (Cu_xS) nano particles, and shows good internal-electro conductivity. This leads to the unique fabrics with the durability against the bending, friction and washing. In addition, electro conductivity of this is controllable from 1 e-1 to 1 e+8 ohm cm for various purposes. As results, it has possibility as high conductive and durability fiber against conventional carbon contained fiber or surface metalized fiber.
