“…Thus, studies have shown increased efforts to convey various functionalities to textile fibers, such as electrical conductivity, which is critical for applications such as anti-static protection, electromagnetic interferences (EMI) shielding, sensors, textile electrode material for charge storage systems, or signal transfer [5]. Since textile polymers are largely insulating by nature, several approaches [6] exist on how to enhance the high conductivity of the textiles such as using thin metal wires or hybrid yarns [7] with metalcore in woven or knitted fabrics [8]. An alternative method is to coat the fibers, yarns, or fabrics with a thin metal layer or a conductive polymer [9].…”
