The change of the electrical characteristics of the electrically conductive thread due to the action of force

Abstract

The paper presents research on the influence of force on the values of the electrical resistance of electrically conductive threads and on their elongation. The measurements were carried out on the measuring system developed at the Faculty of Textile Technology. Changes in the electrical resistance of electrically conductive threads exposed to the tensile load forces were investigated. The research was conducted on monofilament and threadlike yarn of the same raw material composition, different construction, different number of monofilaments and different fineness. Experimentally obtained values indicate that the electrical resistance of an electroconductive thread changes depending on the number of monofilaments, the construction of the thread, the fineness and the magnitude of the force used to tension the thread.
