Statistical analysis of the 3D electroconductive composites based on copper\nand graphene
Abstract
This paper presents several aspects of the multivariate analysis of electroconductive composite based on Copper (Cu)\nand Graphene. The analysis was developed by using the parameters (dependent and independent variables), which\ncharacterize the composite materials with electroconductive properties. The experimental samples were obtained by\nusing 100% cotton fabrics with different structures. The goals followed through the variation of the fabric structures (e.g.,\nplain weave, twill, panama, ribs) were to investigate if the fabric structure or ratio has or not influence on\nelectroconductive properties of the textile materials obtained by conductive coating. The samples created were based\non standard, and 3D digital printing technologies, more specifically on the textile surface, have deposited conductive\npaste containing copper microparticles and graphene filaments. The initial coating with conductive polymeric paste\nbased Cu was developed by scraping of the paste on the fabric. Previously the 3D printing advanced technology by\nfused deposition modeling (FDM) of the Conductive Graphene filaments was used
