- Abstract:
- The paper mainly deals with the influence of the applied measuring voltage on the surface resistance/resistivity of 19 fabric samples, being representative for the various technical solutions of obtaining static dissipative textiles. There were chosen for exemplification six samples with various behaviors regarding the relationship between the increasing excitation DC voltage and the measured results. Based on the Keithley’s hard and soft infrastructure, it was developed the Alternating Polarity method, with a sweep of voltage, nine equal steps from 90V to 990V. There were plotted graphs presenting the different trends of the material response at various excitation voltages. The significant number of performed measurements allowed us to pick up and test possible explanations or just hypothesis for different and sometime unexpected performances of the conductive insertion technologies, aiming to transform the fabrics from very good insulators into static dissipative materials.
