The integration of electrical functionality into flexible textile structures requires the development of new concepts for flexible conductive material. Conductive and flexible thin films can be generated on non-conductive textile materials by electroless metal deposition. By electroless copper deposition on lyocell-type cellulose fabrics, thin conductive layers with a thickness of approximately 260 nm were prepared. The total copper content of a textile fabric was analyzed to be 147 mg per g of fabric, so that the textile character of the material remains unchanged, which includes, for example, the flexibility and bendability. The flexible material could be used to manufacture a thermoelectric sensor array and generator. This approach enables the formation of a sensor textile with a large number of individual sensors and, at the same time, a reduction in the number of electrical connections, since the conductive textile serves as a common conductive line for all sensors. In combination with aluminum, thermoelectric coefficients of 3–4 µV/K were obtained, which are comparable with copper/aluminum foil and bulk material. Thermoelectric generators, consisting of six junctions using the same material combinations, led to electric output voltages of 0.4 mV for both setups at a temperature difference of 71 K. The results demonstrate the potential of electroless deposition for the production of thin-film-coated flexible textiles, and represent a key technology to achieve the direct integration of electrical sensors and conductors in non-conductive material.

Conductive Yarn

This study aims to develop conductive textile materials using a polyester textile yarn by applying a knife coating method and pre-treatment of a tip-cylinder plasma electrode. In this research, carbon ink was coated on polyester staple yarn which was given a pre-treatment with a plasma generator and coated with the knife coating method. The electrical conductivity of conductive yarns produced from this study was divided into two types, as yarns without plasma treatment and with plasma treatment with a ratio of water and carbon ink concentrations of 1:1 and 2:1. The results of the electrical conductivity with plasma treatment and the concentration of carbon ink and water of 1:1 and 1:2 were 69005 (Ωm)-1 and 50144.25 (Ωm)-1, respectively, while the results of the electrical conductivity for threads with concentrations of carbon ink and water of 1:1 and 1:2 without plasma treatment were 18197.64 (Ωm)­‑1  and 8873.54 (Ωm)-1, respectively. The results showed that the concentration of carbon ink and water and plasma treatment affected the conductive value of the yarn. The results also showed that the presence of plasma pre-treatment improved the coating process of conductive ink on the yarn.Keywords: carbon ink; conductive yarn; plasma; textile A B S T R A KPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan bahan tekstil konduktif menggunakan benang tekstil poliester dengan mengaplikasikan metode knife coating dan pre-treatment plasma elektroda tip-cylinder.

In this paper polyester fabrics were pretreated with alkaline solution to improve the ability for the fabric surface to bond with polypyrrole (PPy) coating layer. In situ chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomer was performed on alkali treated polyester fabrics. Then the fabrics were characterized by FTIR and XRD analysis. The tensile properties of the yarns in both warp and weft directions were measured after alkali treatment and PPy coating processes. The abrasion resistance test was performed on PPy coated fabrics with and without alkali treatment. The surface electrical resistivity of PPy coated fabrics were searched. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) properties of fabrics in terms of reflection, absorption and transmission behaviors were also investigated. A significant EMSE value increase (about 27%) was obtained with alkali treatment.

Рассматривается антенна Вивальди, рабочий диапазон которой соответствует частотам, выделенным Государственной комиссией по радиочастотам для сетей пятого поколения. Применение различных проводниковых материалов при изготовлении излучателя позволяет достичь как экономических преимуществ, так и требуемых характеристик диаграмм направленности. В процессе моделирования были определены обратные потери антенны, а также влияние на них материала изготовления проводящей части антенны, диаграммы направленности, коэффициента полезного действия. Все характеристики определялись путем электродинамического моделирования. Исследование производилось для таких проводящих материалов, как медь, алюминий, золото, серебро, железо, платина, тантал, молибден. По полученным результатам было определено, что наилучшим проводником является серебро, при этом медь и алюминий не сильно уступают ему по характеристикам излучения и эффективности. Наихудшими материалами изготовления проводниковой части антенны являются тантал, железо и платина, так при их применении происходит снижение коэффициента полезного действия антенны, реального коэффициента усиления антенны. В статье представлены графики S-параметров для исследуемых случаев, произведено их сравнение, а также приведены основные характеристики диаграмм направленности и определено влияние на них проводниковых материалов The article considers a Vivaldi antenna, the operating range of which corresponds to the frequencies allocated by the State Commission on Radio Frequencies for fifth generation networks. The use of various conductive materials in the manufacture of the emitter allows one to achieve both economic advantages and the required characteristics of radiation patterns. In the process of modeling, we determined the return losses of the antenna, as well as the influence on them of the material of the conductive part of the antenna, the radiation pattern, and the efficiency. We determined all characteristics by electrodynamic modeling. The study was carried out for conductive materials such as copper, aluminum, gold, silver, iron, platinum, tantalum, molybdenum. Based on the results obtained, we determined that the best conductor is silver, while copper and aluminum are not much inferior to it in terms of radiation and efficiency. The worst materials for the manufacture of the conductive part of the antenna are tantalum, iron and platinum, so when they are used, the efficiency of the antenna, the real gain of the antenna, decreases. The article presents graphs of S-parameters for the cases under study, compares them, and also presents the main characteristics of the directional patterns and determines the effect of conductive material on them

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.
