Résumé : |
Electrically conductive fibers can be made of several materials, including metal coatings, metal wires, intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and polymer nanocomposites. Usually, the electrical conductivity is lower for nanocomposite fibers compared to the other concepts. The electrical power lost during the transport of the electrical current is converted to heat, whereas this effect can be used to apply the fibers as heating elements. In this article, the melt spinning of such fibers is demonstrated. |
