Fabric
ETextiles rely on the existence of electrically conductive fibers, threads and fabrics that can be used in combination with textile techniques such as sewing, weaving and knitting. Most of these conductive materials are produced by industry for anti-static and EMF shielding purposes. The development and production of materials for crafting soft circuits and sensors is a more recent development.
Most conductive textile materials are based on the blending of metals for their conductive properties, and other fibers (natural or synthetic) for their mechanical properties such as flexibility and tensile strength.

Exceed expectation without sacrificing performance
Aerospace. Crucial shielding element for cables with coaxial construction. Taking advantage of the skin effect in higher frequency operation, a shield constructed with conductive fibers and even surpasses the performance of a much heavier copper-based braid. The flexibility makes an otherwise fragile cable significantly more robust for the most demanding applications. Meanwhile, conductive fiber negative coefficient of thermal expansion facilitates cable design when dealing with delicate dimensions.
E-Textile. Manufactured with traditional textile machinery such as sewing and embroidery equipment, and are also washable. They possess the same flexibility as traditional textiles but with the added advantage of a highly conductive outer metal coating.
Defense. Low observable technology require fabric with superior conductive for solutions like, warfighter uniforms, equipment, aircraft, ships, submarines, vehicles, missiles, and satellites that need to be less visible to radar, infrared, sonar and other detection methods.

Excellent Performance with Superb Flexibility
All matter is made of particles.
The flow of particles is called electric current.
The electric current travels in an electric circuit.
Voltage is the pressure used to push the electron particles.
An electric field is produced by voltage.
The greater the voltage, the greater the field strength.
Voltage is measured in volts per meter (V/m).
Magnetic fields are produced by electric current.
The greater the current, the greater the magnetic field.
Magnetic fields are measured in microteslas (µt)
Electric field + magnetic field = electromagnetic fields (EMF)
EMF Shield. EMF shielding fabric is a conductive textile layer designed to reduce EMF/RF signal transmission in applicable shielding uses. Shielding performance depends on material construction, coverage, seams, openings, frequency range, installation, and test method.
For buyer evaluation, compare the fabric structure, tested frequency range, care conditions, and intended product construction before selecting a shielding material.

Conductive surface. Metallic fabric can be selected for conductivity, shielding, antistatic, and technical textile applications. Any antimicrobial or surface-performance requirement should be confirmed with product-specific test data and the intended end use.
