In this study, conductive fabrics were fabricated with using stainless steel yarn by knitting techniques. The knitted fabrics were produced four different constructions which are plain, stockinette stitch, 1x1 rib, and 2x2 rib knitting structure. After the knitting process, loop yarn length, stitch density, mass per unit area, thickness, porosity and conductivity of samples were measured. According to results, knitting parameters differ from fabric construction. Furthermore, fabric construction affects the porosity and electrical conductivity of samples. Plain knitting fabric sample has higher porosity than other samples. Compared with all knitting structures, electrical conductivity of 2x2 rib knitting fabric sample is higher than other fabric samples.

Örme Kumaşların Elektrik İletkenliğinin Araştırılması

Öz

Bu çalışmada, iletken kumaşlar paslanmaz çelik iplik kullanılarak örme tekniği ile üretilmiştir. Örme kumaşlar düz, haroşe, 1x1 rip, ve 2x2 rip olmak üzere dört farklı konstriksüyonda üretilmiştir. Örme işleminden sonra numunelerin ilmek iplik uzunluğu, ilmek yoğunluğu, gramjı, kalınlığı, gözenekliliği ve iletkenliği ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, örme parametreleri kumaş konstriksiyonuna göre değişiklik göstermektedir. Ayrıca, kumaş konstriksoyunu numunelerin gözenekliliğini ve elektrik iletkenliğini etkilemektedir. Düz örgü kumaş numunesi diğer numunelere göre daha yüksek gözenekliliğe sahiptir. Tüm örgü yapıları ile karşılaştırıldığında, 2x2 rib örgü kumaş numunesinin elektrik iletkenliği diğer kumaş numunelerinden daha yüksektir.
