The present invention provides fabrics that have unique chemical,
electrical, and thermal properties. The fabrics comprise layers of yarns
woven together wherein the yarns further comprise carbon nanotube fibers.
These carbon nanotube fibers may be either single-walled or multi-walled
carbon nanotubes. The use of carbon nanotube fibers allows the fabrics to
insulate, semi-conduct or super-conduct electrical charges. Additionally,
the thermal properties of carbon nanotubes allow thermal energy to flow
efficiently between the fabric and a heat sink or source. Additional
yarns of materials other than carbon nanotubes can be integrated or woven
into the fabric to provide other unique properties for the fabric. These
fabrics can be layered to form unique garments or structures.
