Electrically conductive fabric.(Industrial)

Albany International Corp claims to have developed a durable and highly electrically conductive fabric.

The company from Albany, New York, USA, reveals details of its claims and the fabric in International Patent WO 2005/047576, where it describes the fabric as an effective material for electrostatic dissipation. This invention claims to provide a durably conductive material with an effectiveness previously only available in metal-based fabrics.

Electrically conductive polymers usually lack sufficient strength to be formed into load-bearing filaments, the Pa
