Hybrid Fabrics for Ohmic Heating Applications

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Textile structures with ohmic (Joule) heating capability are frequently used for personal thermal management by tuning fluctuations in human body temperature that arise due to climatic changes or for medical applications as electrotherapy. They are constructed from electrically conductive textile structures prepared in different ways, e.g., from metallic yarns, conductive polymers, conductive coatings, etc. In comparison with other types of flexible ohmic heaters, these structures should be corrosion resistant, air permeable, and comfortable. They should not loose ohmic heating efficiency due to frequent intensive washing and maintenance. In this study, the basic electrical properties of a conductive fabric composed of a polyester/cotton fiber mixture and a small amount of fine stainless-steel staple fibers (SS) were evaluated and predicted. Even though the basic conductive component of SS fibers is iron and its electrical characteristics obey Ohm’s law, the electrical behavior of the prepared fabric was highly nonlinear, resembling a more complex response than that of a classical conductor. The non-linear behavior was probably due to non-ideal, poorly defined random interfaces between individual short SS fibers. A significant time–dynamics relationship was also shown. Using the Stefan–Boltzmann law describing radiation power, we demonstrated that it is possible to predict surface temperature due to the ohmic heating of a fabric related to the input electrical power. Significant local temperature variations in the heated hybrid fabric in both main directions (warp and weft) were identified.
