A wrappable woven sleeve includes a wall having opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends. The opposite edges are configured to be wrapped about a central longitudinal axis, whereupon the wall takes on a tubular configuration with an inner surface of the wall bounding an enclosed cavity sized for receipt of an elongate member to be protected therein and an outer surface of the wall facing radially outwardly from the central longitudinal axis. The wall is woven with warp filaments extending generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis and weft filaments extending generally transversely to the warp filaments. One or more of the warp filaments are wire to shield against passage of low frequency EMI. A foil layer is fixed to the outer and/or inner surfaces of the wall to shield against passage of high frequency EMI.

Disclosed is an electrically conductive and elastic textile band capable of transmitting an electrical signal by interconnecting wearable smart devices. The textile band can precisely transmit an electrical signal without distortion because there is almost no change in resistance according to extension although the textile band is extended in one direction.

This document describes conductive yarn structures for interactive textiles. The conductive yarn structures of the interactive textile include a conductive core that includes at least one conductive filament and a cover layer that may be constructed from flexible threads that covers the conductive core. In one embodiment, the conductive core includes a plurality of conductive filaments. Each conductive filament can be made from a metallic composition containing copper and silver. Silver can be contained in the metallic composition in an amount from 0.5% by weight to 40% by weight. Each conductive filament can include an insulating sheath made from a polyurethane.

A mask is provided. The mask according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an outer skin which forms an externally exposed surface when the mask is worn; an inner skin fixed to one surface of the outer skin so that an accommodation portion having at least one side open is formed between the outer skin and one surface of the inner skin facing the outer skin while the inner skin is in close contact with a user's face part when the mask is worn; a filter medium accommodated in the accommodation portion; and wearing portions provided on both sides of the outer skin to be respectively worn on the user's ears.

An electrode comprising a conductive textile structure having an inner surface that is connected to one of an electrical power supply and an electrical ground; the conductive textile structure having an outer surface, the outer surface comprising a carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber fabric fixed thereon, the CNT fiber fabric having continuous CNT fiber on the outer surface, wherein the CNT fiber fabric comprises at least one of a CNT fiber, and is at least one of knitted, woven, sewn, and embroidered. The continuous CNT fiber may be a yarn, ribbon, or thread. The CNT fiber fabric includes at least one face having a looped or interlaced structure made from the continuous CNT fiber. The CNT fiber yarn, ribbon, or thread is knitted, woven, sewn, and/or embroidered so that at least one surface comprises a textile made with CNT fiber yarns, ribbons, or threads.

A metalized fabric and method for metallization of fabric. The fabric is formed using two threads with different affinities for metallization, but which threads are not metalized prior to forming into the fabric. The threads will typically be woven using an unbalanced weave to provide one side of the fabric with a resultant greater amount of metallization than the other but this is not required. Once the resultant fabric is metalized, it will typically be more suitable for consistent color dying than fabric which was formed from both metalized and unmetallized threads.

Embodiments relate to conductive textiles and methods of their production, as well as systems for electronically connecting devices through conductive textiles. An example textile comprises a first electrically conductive track; a second electrically conductive track; and at least one non-conductive portion. At least a portion of the first electrically conductive track overlaps or is in close proximity to at least a portion of the second electrically conductive track. At least said portions of the respective tracks are separated by an insulating material so that there is no electrical coupling between the first and second tracks.

An item may include fabric or other materials formed from intertwined strands of material. The item may include circuitry that produces signals. The strands of material may include non-conductive strands and conductive strands. The conductive strands may carry the signals produced by the circuitry. Conductive strands may be insulated by insulating strands that have been wrapped around the conductive strands. Insulating strands may include strands of fusible material that softens when heated to the appropriate temperature. Fusible insulating strands may be interspersed with insulating strands of a different material. The fusible insulating strands may be heated such that the fusible material melts and fills gaps between the other insulating strands, thereby forming a watertight covering over the conductive strand. The fusible insulating strands may be used to insulate electrical connections between conductive strands and/or between electronic components and conductive strands.
