Electrically Conductive Non-Metallic Textile Coatings

Abstract

An industrially feasible process for the polymerization of pyrrole or aniline on the surface of textile fibers and assemblies is discussed. Physical properties of the resulting fabrics are described as well as their stability under various condi tions. Fabrics coated with polypyrrole maintained the general physical properties of the untreated fabrics; in composite structures they are environmentally stable.
