Verification of Surface Conductance Model of Textile Materials

Abstract

Surface conductance is one of the main parameters which describes basic characteristics of specific textile materials.

These textile materials are used, for example, in environments with higher requirements on hardware electrostatic

protection during their production process. Published measurement standardized methods are followed by modeling

methods which do not reach satisfactory results. This paper is therefore focused on the modeling of surface

conductance of textile materials. The results show that the structure of textile materials can be seen as serial-parallel

connections of resistors. A derivation of this model is described.
