Effects on the electro-mechanical properties of aniline-doped polyester fibric

Abstract

The effects of Electro-mechanical properties of doped polyester fabric with aniline were investigated. The effects of various examined and the percolation threshold was established. Chemical polymerization of aniline on Polyester in hydrochloric acid using potassium dichromate as oxidant was carried out. Polyester based conductive polymer composites were prepared by means of melt mixing with a twin screw. The samples were investigated for electrocoductivity and mechanical properties. The results obtained shows polyester fabric became electrically conductive at a percolat 1-2.5% concentrations and also the electrical conductivity increased with the concentration, up to 5.0x10 -3 S/m at 5 % concentration. The work-to-rupture, and % elongation, of th Microscope (SEM) analysis of the samples was studied.

Preparation of Conductive Polyester Fibers Using Continuous Two-Step Plating Silver

“…Polyester fibers are widely used in various fields, because of their excellent physical and mechanical properties and chemical stability. However, normal polyester fiber has a low moisture regain [ 1 , 2 ], higher electrical resistance [ 3 , 4 ], and can easily accumulate large amounts of electric charges on the surface [ 5 , 6 ], which results in fibers repelling each other, clothing absorbing dust and clinging onto the body, and can even produce electrical shocks or ignite flammable substances. Polyester fibers’ easily generating static electricity and poor conductivity, limit their applications in apparel and home furnishings [ 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”
