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 (CuxS) 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.
