Conductive yarn is made of a certain proportion of stainless steel fibers or other conductive fibers blended with ordinary fibers. Conductive yarn can make the static electricity accumulated on the human body disappear quickly. In the past, it was mostly used to make anti-static one-piece suits. Conductive yarns vary widely in performance due to different materials used. The most popular conductive yarns today are silver-plated conductive yarns and Thunderon conductive yarns.
At the beginning, conductive yarn was mainly used for military purposes such as high-precision processing of weapons and nuclear radiation protection. After the end of the Cold War, conductive yarn gradually turned to civilian use, but even today, conductive yarn is still an indispensable part of military equipment. For example, the British Army's 2012 new smart clothing will be woven directly from conductive yarns, replacing the bulky batteries it used to carry. The fibers of the new smart clothing are not afraid of breaking, and can re-establish a connection even after being damaged. New fibers are incorporated into vests, shirts, backpacks, gloves and even helmets. Wearing conductive yarn on the body provides soldiers with a single, centralized power source for device charging.
Folding Touch Screen Gloves
In recent years, with the popularity of capacitive touch screen electronic products such as iPhone, iPad and Android, the touch screen glove industry has also emerged. The capacitive touch screen is a transparent special metal conductive material pasted on the glass surface. When the finger touches the metal layer, the capacitance of the contact will change, so that the frequency of the oscillator connected to it will change. By measuring the frequency change, the touch position can be determined to obtain information. Touch screen gloves use the anti-static effect of conductive yarn to release the static electricity on the hand to perfectly simulate the operation of real fingers on the touch screen.
And conductive yarn is the most important material for making touch screen gloves. Touch Group Thunderon conductive yarn is very popular in the field of touch screen gloves due to its effects of eliminating electricity, antibacterial, deodorizing, heat storage, electromagnetic wave absorption and intelligent heating. The once-popular silver-plated conductive yarn is gradually being phased out in the touch screen glove industry.
Folded heating knitted garments
With the maturity of conductive yarn technology, conductive yarn is also popular in the civilian clothing industry. In 2012, electronic heating knitted garments were combined with conductive yarns through one-shot knitting technology. Under the structure and density of special knitted fabrics, the fabric resistance was calculated by analytical formulas, so that the fabrics could be set to emit different temperatures, and It can be set at the same time in many different positions and different areas. The advantage of this technology is to develop a functional heating smart sweater that is convenient, comfortable, hygienic and beautiful.
