Abstract

Nowadays, health application has growing market potential. In this paper, an investigation of electro-conductive, parameters of blended silver coated polyamide yarn were measured. We focused on the several objectives important in electro-conductive yarns design and application into intelligent clothing. In detail, the effect of numbers of silver filaments, draft and twists, the effect of external heating source on electrical and temperature parameters were tested. Likewise, the possibilities of electro-conductive yarn as data bus were tested too.
