The present study takes into account the consumer requirement of an even more massive use of touch screen devices, where the leather has to compete with the modern textile fibers in terms of technological performances, with particular reference to the newest technologies for the production of conductive gloves and other kinds of conductive goods, like shoes, garments, and others. Most of the known technologies able to provide materials with a unique ability to discharge static electricity and conductivity comparable with the human body concern the use of textile fibers. On the other hand, the goal of the present work is to delve into the application of technologies for leather matrix, with particular reference to the use of carbon-based nanomaterials, and attention to economical and/or practical aspects.

Abstract
The present study takes into account the consumer requirement of an even more massive use of touch screen devices, where the leather has to compete with the modern textile fibers in terms of technological performances, with particular reference to the newest technologies for the production of conductive gloves and other kinds of conductive goods, like shoes, garments, and others. Most of the known technologies able to provide materials with a unique ability to discharge static electricity and conductivity comparable with the human body concern the use of textile fibers. On the other hand, the goal of the present work is to delve into the application of technologies for leather matrix, with particular reference to the use of carbon-based nanomaterials, and attention to economical and/or practical aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
