However, in many cases, these parameters play an important role in the use of materials since they modify their electrical properties. It is necessary to predict what this behaviour will be as these environmental conditions can introduce or improve desirable properties in the material, especially of textiles. The nature of these is to be dielectric, and therefore have a minimal DC electrical conductivity that is currently impossible to measure directly, so a methodology has been proposed to obtain the DC electrical resistivity through the method of discharging a condenser. For this purpose, a system was developed based on a static voltmeter, a climatic chamber and a control and data capture units. In order to validate the proposed system and methodology a study using both is described in this work. The study made it possible to verify that the most influential factor in establishing the values of the electrical parameters of a textile material is the nature of the fibres of which it is composed, although the influence of environmental conditions in fibres is also significant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19235145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,25]],"date-time":"2019-11-25T03:10:00Z","timestamp":1574651400000},"page":"5145","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Effects of Environmental Conditions and Composition on the Electrical Properties of Textile Fabrics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Torreblanca Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ra\u00fal","family":"Garc\u00eda Ovejero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0493-4471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1lvaro","family":"Lozano Murciego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6536-2251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Villarrubia Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9461-7922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan F.","family":"De Paz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Expert Systems and Applications Lab, Faculty of Science, University of Salamanca, 37008 Salamanca, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5255","DOI":"10.1021\/acsnano.5b00686","article-title":"Nonplanar nanoscale fin field effect transistors on textile, paper, wood, stone, and vinyl via soft material-enabled double-transfer printing","volume":"9","author":"Rojas","year":"2015","journal-title":"ACS Nano"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Desney, T., and Jean, V.
