Abstract:

In order to investigate the electrical physical properties of spandex weft-knitted conductive fabrics in the longitudinal direction, spandex yarns and silver-plated conductive yarns were used to weave three elastic weft-knitted conductive fabrics of different organizational structures with the transverse column number of 160 and the longitudinal row number of 24, 48 and 74, respectively by a knitting circular knitting machine. The resistance changes of these conductive fabrics in the tensile state were measured, and then the influences of organizational structure and number of longitudinal rows on the electrical physical properties of conductive fabrics were analyzed. The test results show that under the longitudinal stretching conditions, the electrical physical properties of the spandex knitted conductive fabric is similar to that of the spandex warp-knitted conductive fabric. When the transverse column number is the same, the smaller the longitudinal row number, the better the sensitivity of the conductive fabric. When the transverse column number and the longitudinal row number are the same, weft-knitted fabrics have the best sensitivity, followed by 1+1 mock rib fabrics and 2+1 mock rib fabrics.

Key words: weft-knitted fabric, spandex, conductive fabric, longitudinal stretching, electrical physical properties
