If stretching is performed by force, the electrically conductive layer will be broken in the fiber. Or, even if it is not broken, a structure of electrically conductive carbon black will be broken or further the electrically conductive layer will be broken easily due to a slight external force applied to the electrically conductive fiber in practical use, and as a result, there was a case that the electrically conducting performance might lost.

  • the electrical conductivity is generally poor, whereas when carbon black forms a chain architecture called “structure”, the electrically conducting performance is improved and the carbon black is called “electrically conductive carbon black.” Accordingly, in imparting electric conductivity to a polymer by use of carbon black, it is important to disperse the carbon black without breaking the structure. Therefore, in many cases, it is impossible to perform a sufficient stretching operation and fibers with insufficient dimensional stability tend to be formed.

  • the specific resistance of a solid solution of antimony oxide and tin oxide is 1 to 10 ⁇ cm, so that the electric conductivity has been enhanced. It is necessary to adjust the ratio of antimony oxide in the solid solution to 0.01 to 0.10 (weight ratio) from the viewpoint of comprehensive performance. If the covered amount of antimony oxide is small, the electric conductivity will become insufficient. On the other hand, if that amount is large, the color will defer from the desired white color.
