“…onto textile [19][20][21] • knitting, weaving or embroidering fully conductive threads or conductive coatings into the fabric [22][23][24][25] • conductive printing on textiles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] All three categories are perfectly viable production methods and have their uses, advantages and shortcomings. However, only conductive printing on textile can potentially acquire efficient, fast and reliable mass production traits inherent to the electronic industry.…”

“…The interface layer method, initially proposed by researchers at the University of Southampton [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], can be used with a variety of textiles such as polyester/cotton. Such fabric is cheap and easy to acquire, making this method very accessible and promising for wearable electronics.…”

“…Such fabric is cheap and easy to acquire, making this method very accessible and promising for wearable electronics. Up until now the conductive printing via interface layer method was limited to simple structures such as lines, patches, electrodes, and simple antennas [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. No complete circuit design involving an integration of electronic components on textile has been demonstrated in this medium before.…”

“…Furthermore, the primary ingredient in interface layer method is the interface layer ink. Current ink Fabink UV IF-4 which is used in every interface layer method research paper [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] is much more expensive than regular dielectric inks. The high cost of the current interface layer ink is prohibitive, and research attempts should be made to optimize a regular dielectric ink to function with textiles.…”

A WiFi Tracking Device Printed Directly on Textile for Wearable Electronics Applications Bauyrzhan KrykpayevWearable technology is quickly becoming commonplace in our everyday life -fitness and health monitors, smart watches, and Google Glass, just to name a few. It is very clear that in near future the wearable technology will only grow. One of the biggest wearable fields is the E-textiles. E-textiles empower clothes with new functionality by enhancing fabrics with electronics and interconnects. The main obstacle to the development of E-textile field is the relative difficulty and large tolerance in its manufacturing as compared to the standard circuit production. Current methods such as the application of conductive foils, embroidering of conductive wires and treatment with conductive coatings do not possess efficient, fast and reliable mass production traits inherent to the electronic industry. On the other hand, the method of conductive printing on textile has the potential to unlock the efficiency similar to PCB production, due to its roll-to-roll and reel-to-reel printing capabilities. Furthermore, printing on textiles is a common practice to realize graphics, artwork, etc. and thus adaptability to conductive ink printing will be relatively easier. Even though conductive printing is a fully additive process, the end circuit layout is very similar to the one produced via PCB manufacture. However, due to high surface roughness and porosity of textiles, efficient and reliable printing on textile has remained elu-

“…Furthermore, another disadvantage of such electrodes is not reusable, and the recycling process requires plenty of time and common efforts [14][15][16][17]. However, these inherent weaknesses of Ag/AgCl electrode may be overcome with the assistance of textile electrodes because textile structure can assemble different conductive materials within flexible and variable patterns [18][19][20]. Because of the porous structure, textile electrode can offer better electric conductivity and comfortability without using gel coating.…”

Performance Evaluation of Plain Weave and Honeycomb Weave Electrodes for Human ECG Monitoring

et al. 2017

Long-time monitoring of physiological parameters can scrutinize human health conditions so as to use electrocardiogram (ECG) for diagnosis of some human's chronic cardiovascular diseases. The continuous monitoring requires the wearable electrodes to be breathable, flexible, biocompatible, and skin-affinity friendly. Weave electrodes are innovative materials to supply these potential performances. In this paper, four conductive weave electrodes in plain and honeycomb weave patterns were developed to monitor human ECG signals. A wearable belt platform was developed to mount such electrodes for acquisition of ECG signals using a backend electronic circuit and a signal transfer unit. The performance of weave ECG electrodes was evaluated in terms of skin-electrode contacting impedance, comfortability, ECG electrical characteristics, and signal fidelity. Such performances were then compared with the values from Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The test results showed that lower skin-electrode impedance, higher R-peak amplitude, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value were obtained with the increased density of conductive filaments in weave and honeycomb weave electrode presented higher comfort but poorer signal quality of ECG. This study inspires an acceptable way of weave electrodes in long-and real-time of human biosignal monitoring.
