Electrically conductive yarns
Blended and covered yarns with conductive yarns and wires (conductive).
Twisted copper wires, twisted silver yarns and electrostatically discharging (ESD) carbon yarns can be found in many smart textiles / e-textiles. The copper threads are incorporated into heating fabrics as conductors or woven into nets to shield against electromagnetic radiation (EMC, radio, radar). If the copper is contacted with a conductor, LEDs (luminous textiles) and sensor elements can be controlled.
