Electroconductive Textiles

Multisensor Systems and Arrays for Medical Applications Employing Naturally-Occurring Compounds and Materials

“…The most widely known electrodes for solid MSAs and MSSs are made of different plastic bases in the shape of a tube, plate or strip [ 25 ]. However, recent progress in the material science has opened new possibilities in the development of stretchable and wearable sensors, which are now of great interest [ 26 ]. Along with the synthetic materials (e.g., nylon, polyester, Teflon), natural fibers play an important role in the development of wearable electronics and smart textiles.…”

Assessment of Impact of the Surface Modification Techniques on Structural, Biophysical, and Electrically Conductive Properties of Different Fabrics

“…This is possible thanks to the use of properties characteristic of some raw materials from which intelligent products are made, i.e., piezoelectric, shape memory and electrostrictive properties. Their properties change under the influence of an external stimulus, which may be a chemical, mechanical or electrical stimulus [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…The use of conductive pastes as printing compositions allowed to achieve the desired effect. Electrically conductive pastes contain electrically conductive compounds in the form of nanoparticles of gold, silver, copper metals or carbon compounds such as graphite or nanotubes [ 5 , 6 , 8 ]. Currently, a very wide range of conductive pastes are available on the market.…”

Testing an Arduino-Based Approach for Full-Duplex Voice Communication and Body-Parameter Sensing Electronics for Use with Smart Clothing

“…Such a forecast and the technological trends that lead to an extensive and ubiquitous use of the Internet of things, major part of which is wireless sensors, which are anticipated to take a significant part in the realm of upcoming 5G networks, encourage various research efforts throughout the world that are trying to propose a solution to some of the key challenges in the development of smart clothing, which are (a) embedding wireless sensors: locations, power supply, and data transfer; (b) radio-frequency (RF) transceivers: the size, power consumption, choice of arbitrary frequency, and output power; (c) antennas: placement, size, and the design for an arbitrary frequency; (d) power supply: battery vs. energy harvesting; (e) seamless integration of everything in a noninvasive way [15] while having mechanical robustness, thermal stability, water repellency, or moisture immunity and maintaining or enabling practical washability features [16][17][18]. In addition to the aforementioned features, we also look forward to enabling a full-duplex voice communication [19], which imposes an additional issue of whether using one or two antennas, whether external or on-chip antennas, and how to connect them with transceivers.…”
