Electroconductive fiber, clothing including electroconductive fiber, and electrical/electronic instrument including electroconductive fiber

Abstract

A conductive fiber includes a metal layer on a fiber surface, having an average number of crimps of 2 crimps/cm or more, a volume resistivity of 2×10−6 Ω·cm to 1×10−2 Ω·cm, and a total fineness of 10 dtex to 1000 dtex, and having an average single-fiber diameter of 5 μm to 20 μm.
