Van der Pauw Method for Measuring the Electrical Conductivity of Smart Textiles

The electrical properties of conductive textile fabrics are investigated using the Van der Pauw method. The dependences of the change in the electrical resistance of conductive knitted fabrics under tension perpendicular to the warp direction, as well as at a particular angle to the warp direction of the fabric, are obtained. The data obtained are intended for use in the design of textile electronics, as well as "smart" and highly functional clothing made based on it.
