Abstract

The reliability of conductive yarns used for textiles is, among other things, affected by washing and sweating as well as mechanical issues. This leads to corrosion of the metal surface and to breaks. The aim of this work was to gain a better understanding of the influence of different materials (metal as well as non-conductive cores) on electrical behavior and material loss. Different yarns coated with copper, silver, NiCu and NiCuCo with nylon or polyester cores were investigated. The coating thickness as well as the grain distribution was modified. The temperature distribution, the displacements and the vacancy concentration in the metal grains were determined.
