CONDUCTIVE YARN, METHOD OF MANUFACTURE AND USE THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a multi-component electrically conductive yam which includes a primary component and a secondary component. The primary component comprises at least one elongated filament formed of polymeric material while the secondary component comprises a blend of polymeric material and carbon nanotubes. The secondary component is bonded with the primary component along its length. The carbon nanotubes comprise up to 20% of the secondary component. The conductive yarn comprises no more than 10% carbon nanotubes.
