AB  - This experiment presents a study carried out on the electric charge passing 
      textiles for heat production in compression weft-knitted composite fabrics used 
      for medical purposes. The aim was to flourish compression support of knitted 
      structure with integrated highly sensitive metal (silver) coated polyamide 
      multifilament yarns and to evaluate its heat origination attributes after 
      stretching in different levels as well as changes of the temperature during the 
      time. A flat double needle-bed knitting machine was utilized to fabricate the 
      selected specimens together with elastomeric inlay-yarn incorporated into the 
      structure for compression generation and silver coated polyamide yarn laid as 
      ground yarn in a plated structure for heat generation. Six different variants 
      depending on the metal coated yarn amount used and the fabric structure along 
      with two types of the conductive yarn linear density were fabricated for this 
      research work. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were preoccupied to show 
      the morphology of conductive yarn and thermal pictures were captured to study the 
      evenness of the heat over the surface of composite fabrics depending on 
      conductive yarn distribution in the pattern repeat. The temperature profile of 
      fabricated composite fabrics and comparison of the heat generation by specimens 
      after stretching in different levels was studied.
