The aim of the researh presented in this paper was to develop a technology for obtaining electroconductive yarns using the physical vapour deposition (PVD) technique, as well as methods for testing the yarns. The authors presented a method of production of metallic coatings for staple and continuous yarns with the use of PVD processes which enabled the production of yarns with electroconductive properties. The article also presents the properties of yarns after the PVD modification processes and the sustainability of these properties after utility testing such as laundry, bending and abrasion. Yarn thermographic analysis, which reflected the quality of the outer metallic layers, is also presented.
