scholarly journals Comparative Studies of Electrical Resistance in Woven and Non-Woven Jute Fabrics at Different Input Voltage

The use of jute fabrics is showing an increasing trend in textile, building and automobile sectors. Electrical properties such as conductivity, resistance, di-electric constant, insulation, etc. are the essential factor for consideration for using jute fabrics in these sectors. For this reason, a study was carried out to find out the changes in electrical properties of woven and nonwoven jute fabrics at different input voltage. The electrical resistance of jute fabrics was measured by a digital impedance meter. Effects of input voltage, gauge length, and type of fabrics on electrical resistance were studied and analyzed. Experimental results indicated that the electrical resistance of woven and needle punched nonwoven jute fabrics decreased with the increase of input voltage and increased with the increase in gauge length. The highest value of electrical resistance in woven jute fabrics was 394 Mohm/cm at 2 cm gauge length and 60 V of the input voltage. In nonwoven jute fabrics, the maximum electrical resistance was 257 M ohm/cm which was obtained at 2 cm gauge length and 60 V of electrical resistance. Woven jute fabric showed a higher value of resistance than nonwoven jute fabric for different voltages. It was also observed that the electrical resistance varied with the type of fabrics used in this study.

In this research, the electrical resistance of needle-punched non-woven jute fabric at different input voltage was measured. Here, to determine the electrical resistance, a device named the digital impedance meter has been used. The specific resistance for the different gauge lengths of non-woven jute fabric has been observed to enhance the use of jute fabric for electrical purposes. It has been observed that the electrical resistance increased with the higher value of gauge length and decreased with the increase of input voltage.

Purpose. Investigate the effect of additive formation parameters on the properties of an antistatic composition based on polylactide (PLA). Methodology. Surface and bulk electrical resistance were determined by ASTM D257. Findings. The influence of additive formation parameters on the electrical properties of graphite-filled composite based on polylactide has been studied. It was found that the value of resistivity significantly depends on the printing conditions, namely the temperature, speed, thickness of the layer. Increasing the printing temperature helps to reduce the resistivity of the sample. Reducing the thickness of the polymer layer also reduces the resistivity at a print speed within 3000 mm / min It was found that the specific electrical characteristics are significantly different in the plane of the sample in contact with the printing platform. Concentric method of laying layers of polymer melt is less effective in terms of resistivity than mutually perpendicular. It was found that the electrical resistivity of samples made of material for 3D printing, which was previously subjected to drying below the resistance of the sample made of undried material. The programmed change of 3D printing parameters allows to control the specific resistance of graphite-filled composite based on polylactide in the range of three orders and to obtain products with properties from antistatic to statically dissipative materials. Additive production allows to obtain products of the desired configuration with adjustable electrical properties. Originality. The peculiarities of the change of antistatic properties of the polymer composite depending on the conditions of additive formation of experimental samples are investigated. Depending on the applied parameters of additive molding, it is possible to obtain products with properties from antistatic to statically dissipative materials. Practical value. Technological modes of additive molding of composite products based on polylactide and graphite have been developed. Energy consumption for additive formation of products of different mass is estimated.

Modified porous alumo-silicate ceramics, alloyed with magnesium and microalloyed with aluminum, belongs to modern multifunctional ceramic materials. Microalloying has led to important changes in dielectric and electrical properties of ceramics, such as dielectric constant and electrical resistance. These changes are conditioned by the microstructural properties of modified porous ceramics. The obtained results have shown the unity of the influence of composition, structure, morphology and application of microalloyed multifunctional alumosilicate ceramics on electrophysical properties. Microstructural investigations have shown that this type of ceramics has an amorphous-crystal structure, which causes important changes in its electrical properties and affects its activity. Therefore the ceramics can be considered as an active dielectric. A correlation between microstructural properties and structurally sensitive, i.e. electrophysical properties of microalloyed multifunctional alumo-silicate ceramics, was confirmed.

Jute fiber has poor compatibility with hydrophobic thermosetting polymeric resin for the development of a biocomposite. In this present study, plain weave jute fabric was treated with 1% sodium hydroxide (owf) in three different time (30, 60 and 90 minutes), temperature (30, 40 and 50℃) and material-to-liquor ratio (1:5, 1:10 and 1:15) as per orthogonal array and the treated jute fabrics were used for the preparation of the biocomposite sheet by hand laying-cum-compression moulding method. Developed biocomposite sheets were evaluated for their mechanical properties as per ASTM standards and results were analyzed by Taguchi model to optimize the sodium hydroxide treatment condition. Results inferred that jute fabric reinforcement treated with 1% sodium hydroxide at 50℃ for 60 minutes in 1:10 material-to-liquor ratio could be the optimum condition to develop the biocomposite sheet with higher mechanical properties than other conditions.

In a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell current density under the shoulder can be very different from that under the gas channel and the knowledge of where the current density is higher is critical in flow field designs in order to optimize cell performance. Yet, up to date this issue has not been resolved. In this study, a novel yet simple approach was adopted to directly measure the current densities under the channel and the shoulder in PEM fuel cells separately. In this approach, the cathode catalyst layer was so designed that either the area under the shoulder or the area under the channel was loaded with catalyst. Such a design guaranteed the currents generated under the shoulder and the channel could be measured separately. Experimental results showed that the current density produced under the channel was lower than that under the shoulder except in the high current density region. To determine whether the lateral electrical resistance of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) was the causes for lower current density under the channel, an additional set of experiments were conducted. In this set of experiments, a silver mesh was added on the top of the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the experimental results showed that GDL lateral electrical resistance was not the cause and it had a negligible effect on lateral current density distribution.

The effect of epoxy modified by 0.05 wt. % of CNTs on electrical properties of woven fiberglass/epoxy composite laminate was examined. The electrical resistance was measured using 4-point probe method and LCR-meter during cyclic tensile and fatigue test. Microstructural analysis using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was carried out. Based on the experimental data, the increase in load is accompanied by growth in electrical resistance. The change in resistance after 20 cycles was up to 3 %. During fatigue test, the change in resistance was considerable and made up to 25 % in cracking zone of the sample and over 110 % at the failure mode.

For this study, a novel resistance heating system for microforming was developed using surfaces of forming dies as heating resources. The electrical resistance of the die surfaces was designed and the hard-coating material AlCrSiN was selected to coat the die surfaces for heating. To clarify the effects of the thickness and modified surfaces on heating efficiency, the temperature and stress reduction were evaluated in a micro-compression test using dies coated with 0.5 and 1 μm AlCrSiN films. Furthermore, the formability was also demonstrated using 1 μm thick AlCrSiN-coated tools in a microforging test. By applying surface-modified dies to the forming processes, we found that not only was the heating efficiency improved, but also the dependence of heating on the product’s shape and the material’s electrical properties was reduced.
