Dielectric Yarns, Fabrics and Coatings

Examination of Textiles with Mathematical and Physical Methods

Abstract

Dielectric textiles and coatings are not often mentioned. Opposite to conductive or magnetic properties, the term “dielectric” is not even well known. Dielectric properties, however, are important for several smart textiles, especially for textile capacitors which may help storing energy in textiles. This chapter will thus give a short overview of dielectricity, dielectric properties of different textiles, and some ideas when to use dielectric textiles and how to measure them.
