Electrical Conductivity and Fractal Properties of Carbon Threads

Resumo

In this article, the reasons affecting the electrical parameters of heating units based on carbon threads used in woven heaters were analyzed. One of the reasons is electric contacts between the filaments formed in a random manner. The representation of a structure having an effect on the electrical resistance of a carbon thread in the context of a fractal conception is new. The results can be used in development engineering and improvement of manufacturing technology with the aim of enhancement of electrical performance of woven heaters.
