Abstract
We report on a new textile metamaterial created by adding metal wires directly into the polymer yarn. Split-ring resonator-like extended states are created. Simulations revealed that the extended states can be easily tuned via the geometry. Measurements of the transmittance spectrum as a function of the polarization angle in the low terahertz range were also performed and these peaks were ascribed to a polarization-dependent resonator model. The fabrics are viable candidates for flexible and deformable gigahertz and terahertz-enabled metamaterials.We report on a new textile metamaterial created by adding metal wires directly into the polymer yarn.
