Copper wire and polyamide filament were used as the core yarn, and stainless steel wire was used as the wrapping yarn to fabricate the loop yarns for knitting structure. The nonwoven selvedge served as the core yarn, and the conducting wire was used as the wrapping yarn, to fabricate the weft-inlaid yarn. The rotor twister successfully fabricated a series of conductive hybrid yarns (CHYs). The co-woven-knitted machine successfully fabricated the conductive co-woven-knitted fabrics (CWKFs) with various CHYs. The conducting materials of the hybrid yarn were copper wire and stainless steel wire, taken as the wrapping and core yarn, respectively. The conductive co-wovenknitted fabrics were laminated with various angles in four and six layers and then heat pressed to 2 and 3 mm in thickness. This study investigated the surface resistivity, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) attenuation percentage of the co-wovenknitted fabrics and CWKFs reinforced composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
