The aim of the research was to explore the effect of methyl red dye, bulk/nano ZnO and methyl red dye with bulk/nano ZnO on electrical and thermal property of commercially available textile samples. Nano ZnO was synthesized by polyol method and characterized. For determining electrical resistance, a measuring device based on the measurement of direct current through textile samples was developed. Our result shows that; aramid materials coated by methyl red with nano ZnO prove to have better antistatic and antiflammable property.
