Abstract
An electrically conductive knitted fabric comprising stitched rows of an electrically non-conductive ground thread (1), and of stitched rows of an electrically conductive thread (2) placed therebetween. In addition, a number of rows of an electrically non-conductive ground thread can alternate with one or more rows of comprising electrically conductive thread. A connection overlapping the rows comprising electrically non-conducting thread exists in places between the rows comprising electrically conductive thread.
Claims5
A biaxially electrically conductive knitted fabric, comprising mesh rows of an electrically non-conductive ground thread, as well as of mesh rows of an electrically conductive thread interposed therein between, whereas a plurality of rows of the electrically non-conductive ground thread alternate with one or a plurality of rows of electrically conductive thread and wherein between the rows of electrically conductive thread, there is in some places a connection overlapping the rows of electrically non-conductive thread so as to form floating portions of the electrically non-conductive thread, wherein the connection is obtained by meshes of the respective neighbouring rows of the electrically conductive thread overlapping floating portions of the electrically non-conductive thread, and the stretchability is at least 150% in the knitting direction and transverse thereto.
