Abstract

Because of the recent development of wearable electronic and smart textiles, the conductive yarns, fabrics and electrically heated garments have been widely studied and applied in many fields. This research is primarily concern to improve the conductive yarn quality with designed a new automatic machine for producing commercially conductive yarns by replacing traditional machine. The result implies that the new automatic machine based conductive yarn showed high multiple strands twisting than traditional one. In order to augment the thermal and washing resistance of conductive yarns, three different counts of cotton yarns (28S, 32S, 35S) were incorporated and fifty times washing cycle has been measured. The conductive yarn made from automatic machine showed better washing resistance properties and it enhances the regular use for commercial application.
