Abstract :
Electric properties of 2/1 warp-faced twill fabric containing 10% conductive fiber were studied by measuring its resistivity. Surface resistivity measurements in different directions exposed an anisotropy effect ascribed to the sample weave pattern. Bulk conductivity, evaluated on a basis of an electrical network model, has been found to be in very good agreement with the results. Stretching the fabric in the direction of current flow increases the conductivity
