Effect of carbon nanotubes on the dielectric properties of spandex fabric

AbstractEffect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the dielectric properties of spandex fabric is studied theoretically. The frequency and CNTs dependence of the real and imaginary part of the complex dielectric permittivity are calculated and compared with experimental results of spandex fabric. An appreciable change in the dielectric permittivity has been observed for CNTs doped spandex fabric. Good agreement between theoretical and experimental results is observed.Keywords: Textilespandex fabricdielectric permittivitydielectric losscarbon nanotubes Disclosure statementThe authors declare no conflict of interest, financial or otherwise.
