The factory that's making the conductive yarn is also a little different from what you'd typically encounter in consumer electronics, right?
Sauquoit, a Pennsylvania firm, makes a conductive yarn that is ten times finer than the equivalent from DuPont, the market leader, at a third of the price.Metal-coated fibres, like ordinary ones, can be easily broken.
A woven RFID tag could be read by a wireless reader (and, no doubt, eventually by a smartphone app too which could lead to some embarrassment when someone scans your new Prada number and discovers it's a knock-off).Researchers have also used conductive yarn to embroider alphanumeric and musical keyboards into fabric.
In this study, the effect of conductive yarn crimp on electromagnetic performance of 3DIMAs are investigated by designing, simulating and experimental testing of two microstrip antennas with different patch woven structures: one woven in plain weave pattern with most yarn crimp and the other woven orthogonally without yarn crimp.
We've already seen Google and Levi's team-up for the Project Jacquard smart jacket – a denim jacket that packs a conductive yarn, with fibres linked to a detachable smart tag on the cuff, providing connectivity to a paired smartphone.
The proposed conductive yarn when converted to fabrics will improve some of the mechanical properties like flexibility, pliability, strength and durability of the conductive fabrics; moreover, the fabric can be woven with higher cover factor to restrict the smaller wavelength waves since the diameter of conductive wires inside the fabrics need not to be enhanced.
