Abstract

The textile industry is an important industrial sector of our economy which is dedicated to the production of fibres, yarns, fabrics and all kinds of products related to the manufacture of clothing and many other products used today. These products pose certain problems at the industrial level and at the level of use, of which the electrical ones occupy an important level of relevance. Therefore, the textile industry needs to know the electrical behaviour of textiles to avoid problems of safety in the industry and of behaviour in the use of clothing. The main conditions of this behaviour are the internal conditions of the fabric, but the external, environmental conditions also play an important role. It is the knowledge of the influence of these magnitudes that can determine the use or not of a certain fabric for the use of certain textile garments in certain working conditions. This article presents a study on the influence of temperature and relative air humidity on the electrical behaviour of smart fabrics with integration of the conductive thread in the cotton lamellar fabric.
