Abstract

Centuries ago a philosopher in Greece discovered static electricity. Little did he know that in this advanced age, this concept would achieve a new identity! Evolving on the basic concept of static electricity, a purely textile material tuPOY, having properties of metals is established in this chapter giving rise to a new dimension in the world of electronics. A piece of cloth belonging to a nonmetallic domain, through an innovative process translates to a material exhibiting metallic properties. Camouflaged textiles, metallic polymers, carbon nanotubes, and graphene composing the current state of art are compared and contrasted in performance and properties with tuPOY. With its innovative properties of metal and its ability to form a semiconductor, tuPOY emerges as a material holding potential to revolutionalize the technological domain of the future.
