Electrically conductive or electroactive fibers are commonly used in protective cloth, filters, and smart and interactive textiles, which could be used in electrical, medical, sports, energy, and military applications. Conductive fibers, especially for commonly used synthetic fiber, can be prepared in core—sheath bicomponent fiber, adding conductive additives in the core part. Functional additives include carbon black, multi-waUed carbon nanotubes, grapheme, ZnO, silver, and conductive polymers [52]. Properties of some conductive libers are listed in Table 2.38.

Due to electron-transport characteristics of Conjugated polymers or ICPs, they are regarded as semi eonductors or even sometimes eonduetors. Due to their high eonduetivity, lower weight, and environmental stability, they have a very important place in the field of smart and interactive textiles [76].
