Abstract

Conductive fibers were obtained using two experimental processes (melt spinning and coating process). In melt spinning process, polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy) and graphite were used in order to obtain conductive polypropylene (PP) based fibers with specific electrical and mechanical properties. PANI was treated using dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) to improve the solubility and the dispersion of PANI in xylene. PANI coating on PET yarns were performed by absorption of yarns through PANI solution. The electrical resistance and morphological characteristics of conductive yarns were investigated. These yarns are supposed to be used to create smart clothing, corrosion protection or conductive fabrics for electromagnetic shielding applications.
