 Full text | Abstract: The stitch-bond nonwoven textile WOM-E, composed of 90 percent electro-conductive (polyacrylonitrile, chemically modified with copper and sulfur) fibres, was tested using the X-band microwave transmission and direct-current techniques. The resistance obtained from the microwave transmission was found to agree very well with that obtained in fourprobe DC measurements. Microwave transmission is recommended for the contactless, nondestructive monitoring of electro-conductive textile quality in the manufacturing process. |
