Using conductive fiber is the basic development direction of antistatic technology of textile materials. From the application experience at home and abroad, the coated and composite organic conductive fibers are most suitable for the preparation of permanent antistatic textiles. According to the demand characteristics of antistatic function of textile products, conductive fiber should focus on the development of two categories: first, metal compound composite white high conductivity organic conductive fiber to meet the needs of various dyeing properties of civil textiles; second, carbon black coating or carbon black composite to meet the needs of special functional textiles (such as dust-free sterile explosion-proof work clothes, electromagnetic shielding fabrics, etc.) High conductivity organic conductive fiber.
As a kind of important intelligent material, conductive fiber has attracted extensive attention of the material field at home and abroad. Its research and development is in the ascendant, and it has a good application prospect in clothing, sensors and industrial textiles. It can be believed that with the progress of science and technology, intelligent materials will continue to develop. As one of the main varieties of intelligent textiles, conductive fiber will play an increasingly important role in the field of materials. [4]
Although the manufacturing cost of conductive fiber is high, its mixing proportion in the fabric is small, and the effect is obvious. In the current research and development of differential fiber in China, conductive fiber should occupy an important position, and its development should be paid attention to.
It can be studied in the following aspects:
(1) On the premise of improving the conductivity of conductive fiber, how to strengthen the research on the modification of conductive filler, in order to reduce the amount of conductive filler, increase the dispersion and orientation, and reduce the specific gravity.
(2) At the same time, the mechanical properties and other properties of the fiber are enhanced.
(3) Reduce the cost of preparation and processing of conductive fiber.
(4) Improve the forming process and product appearance of conductive fiber.
(5) Improve the comprehensive use performance, ensure that the processability of the conductive fiber meets the requirements of green chemistry, conforms to the national scientific development strategy, makes its technology practical, and can be applied on a large scale
