Surface resistivity and shear characteristics of polyaniline coated polyester fabric

Abstract

The surface resistivity and shear characteristics of the polyaniline/ polyester fabrics produced by varying the number of coatings with different fabric structures were studied. With increase in number of coatings, the resistivity of the fabric decreases. The plain woven fabric gives higher surface resistivity than twill and satin weaves. Shear rigidity of twill and satin fabrics are lower than that of plain woven fabrics. © SAGE Publications 2009.
