Abstract In this study, using three types of resins (each with unique material properties) as a matrix, and carbon black (CB) as a conductive additive, conductive fibres were fabricated through a melt-spinning process. An examination of the electrical conductivity revealed that a CB/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) composite had a low percolation value of 0.58 wt%, and thus the highest conductivity of the three resin types. These results indicate that CB/PET fibres could be used to manufacture antistatic fabrics.
