Property Evaluation of PET Fiber and Metal Fiber Composite Woven Fabric

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study aims to fabricate strong mechanical properties and electrical conduction woven fabric, which provides flexible and strength for application. Polyethylene Terephthalate fiber (PET fiber) having fine mechanical properties are widely used in industry, as well as metal fiber are often used on electromagnetic shielding and static electricity protection. This study took both advantages of PET fiber and metal fiber for water sensitive functional textile. The result showed that warp yarns has a tensile strength of 1363.3N/mm and weft yarns has a tensile strength of 1483.3N/mm. In addition, both textiles with 20 wt% water absorption can be electrical conduction. Various metal yarns have different electrical resistivity and conductivity with various water absorption percentage.
