STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PARAMETERS FOR TEXTILE MATERIALS USED FOR SENSORS

Abstract

This paper presents aspects regarding the analysis of the independent parameters of the surface electrical resistance for a series of textile samples made by successive knife coating procedures with conductive paste-based metal microparticles, respectively ultrasound-assisted coating using dispersions based on metal microparticles (Cu, Ni, Al, Zn and Ag). The statistical analysis aims to determine the correlations between the vectors of the independent variables (mass, air permeability and thickness of the conductive textile material) and the dependent variable (surface electrical resistance). These samples are prepared for sensor electrodes and must have a low electrical surface resistance.
