Core Conductive Yarn Based Integral Knitted ESD Garments Part I. Metallic Core Conductive Yarns Investigation

Abstract:

A research regarding the integral knitted structures for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective garments with core conductive fibres is currently undergoing. The results of the research will be published in three papers. The current paper presents a study on the knitted structures made with metallic core conductive fibres. A number of 15 samples made with different types of fibres were manufactured and tested for their ESD characteristics. From the experimental results, conclusions were drawn about ESD performances of tested samples.
