Conductive Textile Swatch
Conductive Textile Swatch
Matter Item #395
Conductive Fabric – Copper Mesh, 0.1 mm Thick
This ultra-thin conductive fabric is woven with fine copper threads to create a flexible, breathable mesh capable of conducting electricity and interacting with electromagnetic fields. Despite being just 0.1 mm thick, it unlocks a wide range of scientific and practical applications.
Commonly used in smart textiles, this material can transmit signals, sense touch, or provide localized heating. It's used in sports like fencing for electronic scoring, as well as in wearable electronics, experimental garments, and protective enclosures for sensitive devices.
Based on the principles of electromagnetism discovered by Michael Faraday, this fabric can also act as a Faraday cage—blocking wireless signals like WiFi, GPS, cellular, and Bluetooth. This makes it useful for security pouches, electromagnetic shielding, testing environments, and advanced radiation protection.
Perfect for educational experiments, wearable tech, or building your own signal-blocking enclosure.
Use this 6" x 6" swatch to determine if the material is right for your next project.

WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY
You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.
We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.
With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.
